curatorial science

Curatorial science is an interdisciplinary field that combines scientific principles with the art of curating exhibitions and collections. It involves applying research, analysis, and technology to select, preserve, and interpret objects or specimens, ensuring their historical, cultural, or scientific integrity. Curatorial scientists often work in museums, research institutions, or conservation labs to enhance understanding and engagement with collections through informed presentation, preservation techniques, and educational initiatives. This approach fosters a deeper connection between audiences and the artifacts or specimens, ensuring their longevity and meaningful context for future generations.
