The Role
The V&A is planning a large-scale exhibition for Autumn 2026 which has Byzantine art as a major component. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication and a wide variety of other events. The main focus of the role is to coordinate research and other activities associated with the project, supporting the creative vision set out by the Lead Curator, and help to develop and deliver the exhibition and accompanying publication. We are recruiting for a Project Curator to help deliver this project.

We occasionally close vacancies early in the event we receive a high volume of applications. Therefore, we recommend you apply early.
The V&A
The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.8 million objects, books and archives that span over 5,000 years of human creativity. The museum holds many of the UK's national collections and houses some of the greatest resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, textiles, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, glass, ceramics, book arts, Asian art and design, theatre and performance.
Our mission is to be recognised as the world's leading museum of art, design and performance, and to enrich people's lives by promoting research, knowledge and enjoyment of the designed world to the widest possible audience. We strive to make the V&A matter to more people and in that context we work to the following six strategic objectives:
To create a world class visitor and learning experience across all V&A sites and collections.
Focus and deepen the relevance of our collections to the UK creative and knowledge economy.
Expand the V&A's international reach, reputation and impact.
To operate with financial and organisational initiative and efficiency.
Showcase the best of digital design and deliver an outstanding digital experience.
Diversify and increase private and commercial funding sources.
