How much do museum curators make?

Answer 1

This varies widely. Some curators are volunteers whereas others at large museums make more than $100,000. A intro level position may start in the mid-$20s, and senior level can get up to the mid-$60s or so. This is not a profession for people seeking to make a lot of money. however it is incredibly rewarding in terms of intellectual stimulation. For salary surveys surveys, see the websites below... http://www.salaryexpert.com/Curator/salary-survey-2764.htm http://swz.salary.com/salarywizard/layouthtmls/swzl_compresult_national_SC16000129.html Also there are a number of published surveys you may be able to find at a library or ask them to borrow for you.
