文法句型

curator + of + collection/institution

possessive + curator: [institution]'s curator

用法筆記

Often followed by 'of' to specify the collection or institution (e.g., 'curator of Asian art', 'curator of manuscripts'). The possessive form is also very common: 'the museum's curator', 'the gallery's curator'. A curator is not simply a worker at a museum — the role specifically involves decisions about what the collection contains and how it is presented to the public.
