Curatorial Research Fellows

The Bibliotheca Hertziana every year offers up to four Curatorial Research Fellowships with a duration of three months to museum curators for projects on Italian art history from Late Antiquity to the present day. Successful candidates receive a monthly reimbursement for accommodation and travel expenses, are provided with a workspace in the library and get full access to the Institute’s research facilities. The fellowship allows them to conduct research in preparation for an exhibition or an inventory catalog, outside of their daily museum duties. Between 2022 and 2024, twelve international candidates from various collections – small and large, private and public – have received funding. Every year, a workshop was organized where the curatorial fellows presented their current projects and discussed career paths in museums with our PhD students and postdocs
