AHN likes to keep a sharp eye on curatorial salaries in the UK; they are in many cases worryingly low. I was interested to see The Art Newspaper drawing parallels between curatorial pay grades and those tasked with museum communication in this digital age:
A recent ad for the new communications director post at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London specified that candidates “make best use of existing and emerging social media channels”. The estimated salary for the role is £100,000—around double that of a senior curator at the museum’s planned outpost in east London, advertised last year with a pay band of £36,546 to £54,561.
