Curating Art and Cultures
Master
Learn the academic and the practical skills to become a curator. Are you ready to investigate museum displays from multiple perspectives? Are you keen to intern at a museum, directly contributing to curating exhibitions yourself? And are you looking to become a curator of the future?
Interdisciplinary Master's programme
The Dual Master’s in Curating Art and Cultures is a unique, two-year programme offered jointly by VU Amsterdam, the University of Amsterdam (UvA), and leading museums and cultural institutions in the Netherlands. Taking place in both the lecture hall and the exhibition space, this interdisciplinary Master’s programme prepares you for a career as a professional curator by strengthening your disciplinary and theoretical foundations, and equipping you with the research skills and practical experience needed to achieve your ambitions.
Work as a curator-in-training
Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to work as a curator-in-training during a year-long internship at one of the programme’s partnering museums or cultural institutions.
