The term curate refers to selecting, organizing and maintaining a collection or an exhibition. In its broadest sense, it means taking care of something, such as tending to a garden or cultivating one's knowledge in a particular field. However, when used in the context of art, curating typically involves the process of choosing works for display, arranging them in an exhibit and providing accompanying information or interpretation. A curator is someone who has responsibility for managing a collection of items and may work in museums, galleries or other cultural institutions to research, organize and present artwork or artifacts to the public.
