At the Rijksmuseum, we conduct cutting-edge research into our collection every day. For example, delving into the stories behind the photos or the purposes for which they were created. As a curator of photography, you connect history and art, making important themes from past and present visible. It's a challenging position where you bridge art, history, society, and the public.
You'll be responsible for the collection of photography from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries and closely involved in all aspects of scientific research, publication, and interpretation of works in this field. You'll also propose new acquisitions and play a significant role in exhibitions and presentations.
Your main tasks are:
- Carefully managing the assigned collections and ensuring their registration and accessibility;
- Conducting scientific research and publishing on photography;
- Organizing and contributing to exhibitions and smaller presentations;
- Sharing expertise with both specialists and a wider audience through publications, lectures, and tours;
- Monitoring the art market and proposing acquisitions of photography for the museum;
- Maintaining contacts with collectors;
- Representing the Rijksprentenkabinet in the field.
