On Saturday 6th July 2019, the Strong Sisters went to Blackburn Museum to meet the curator called Caroline. Caroline’s role as a curator was to manage the collection of the arts, collect and put them on show. Caroline also said that there wasn’t many women workers back then so they wasn’t able to find much work founded by women. Caroline believes more women curators than men.

For the trip to Blackburn Museum, I got lost but then I went to the Making Rooms in Blackburn to ask where the Blackburn Museum was and then I found it but I was late so I missed some of the session but I caught up.

Caroline the curator, which works in the Blackburn Art & archaeology Museum. Caroline enjoys the history of Art & Archaeology in ancient world degree and came from a archaeology background. Caroline really enjoys Ceramics and also worked in Blackburn museum for 14 years and 4 years as a curator. She looked at objects in the Manchester museum and adores the history of each item which then kick started her career. All or most of the paintings are drawn by men but she doesn’t really know much about the history. Caroline was a curator before Jack Straw opened up the hart collection.
