Compared with many overseas majors, art curatorial majors are relatively small, more practical, and have more employment opportunities. So what are the good universities of British curatorial majors? Today, I would like to introduce the postgraduate curatorial major of Goldsmiths University in the United Kingdom. The major of curatorial is aimed at visual art exhibitions, which is totally different from exhibition design. The major of curatorial belongs to the major of liberal arts. It has high requirements for art history and critical methods, and aims to analyze, comment and coordinate exhibitions from a theoretical perspective. In general, the research direction of curatorial provided by British universities at present is biased towards contemporary art research, and few are biased towards traditional art.
