Usage Note

Curador has two main uses: in the arts, it is the professional who organizes and interprets a museum or gallery exhibition (curador de arte); in law, it is a court-appointed guardian for a person lacking full legal capacity. The feminine form is curadora. In Latin America both senses are common; in Spain the legal sense uses curador while the arts sense sometimes uses comisario.

Examples

"El curador eligió las obras para la exposición."

Natural Translation

The curator chose the works for the exhibition.
