The Curator's Handbook : Museums Commercial Galleries Independent Spaces

The essential practical handbook for curators and curatorial students, mapping out every stage of the exhibition-making process from initial idea to final installation. In his introduction, Adrian George traces the history of curating back to its origins in the 17th century and outlines the multifarious roles of the curator today, including as custodian, interpreter, educator, facilitator and organiser. Twelve chapters then chart the various stages of the exhibition process in invaluable detail and clear, informative language.
