curator's
Museum manager's role
Curator's is the possessive form of curator, a person who manages and oversees a collection—typically in a museum, gallery, archive, or library.
A curator's eye reflects their trained judgment in selecting and arranging works.
The curator's notes accompanied each exhibit.
The role has expanded to anyone who thoughtfully selects and organizes content: a playlist reflecting the curator's taste.
