Today is "Ask a Curator Day"

Today, September 1, 2010 is "Ask a Curator Day" at museums worldwide. This is your chance to ask a curator, (that's the person who runs the museum, knows the art, and knows the art world!) any question about their museums and the works held within. This is an international event. Museums including the Van Gogh museum in the Netherlands, the Tate in London, along with notables like the Chicago Museum of Art are among those participating. Locally, the San Diego Museum of art is answering questions.  This is a wonderful opportunity for children to ask questions about their favorite art works, about what museums are and why they are important, or to ask curators about what they do and why their work is important.Ask a Curator Day
