In the hustle and bustle of life in Los Angeles, the slow-paced world of museums is often overlooked. But museums ranging from science to contemporary art can have a lot to offer, including public programs, screenings, guest lectures and stimulating exhibitions. The people who work behind the scenes of these exhibitions, often for months or even years, are curators. The Fowler Museum’s guest curator, Elizabeth Barber shares her unique experiences with textiles from around the globe, and Julie Romain, Assistant Curator at LACMA speaks about the preparation that goes into curatorial work.
