Curator of Art (Pre-1900s)
National Museums NI is a leading cultural institution and is responsible for ensuring that its significant collection is developed, cared for and accessible to the widest possible audience. Almost one million people enjoy our four museums each year, and through loans, research, community activity and digital programmes we engage a much wider audience than those who physically visit our museums.
We are looking for a Curator of Art (Pre-1900s) to play a central role in the research, management and development of the Art collection, ensuring a user-focused approach to collections-based activities. The post holder will also contribute more broadly to the work of the Collections directorate and the overall corporate objectives of National Museums NI.
