#AskACurator Day 2015

What's it like to be a curator? How do you decide what to display? What are the challenges of working on an exhibition that takes the form of a two-day concert?

Have you had a burning question for one of our curators? Now is your chance to ask! The Hammer is excited to once again be among 800+ museums from 47 countries participating in #AskACurator Day on Wednesday, September 16.

Hammer curatorial staff will be available to answer your questions from 1–4 p.m PST. Tweet your questions to @hammer_museum and make sure to use the #AskACurator hashtag. We can't wait to hear from you.
