"Curator" means "one who cares for." Curators at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are responsible for the works of art in the collections. They decide what objects should be displayed, and they arrange the displays so that visitors can understand and appreciate what they see. Curators find new works to add to the Museum's collections, and they organize special exhibitions. Curators also study the works of art in order to learn more about them. There are eighteen curatorial departments in the Museum. Every work of art in the Museum belongs in one of these departments.
