Abstract
Recently, as art museums are being focused as a learning place, curators are expected to encourage these educational activities. This paper aims to clarify the curators' attitudes towards education in Japan, through the questionnaire survey.
After describing aims and methods of this paper in chapter 1 and 2, Chapter 3 examines profiles of curators. In chapter 4, through factor analysis of the curators' attitudes towards education, we found following three factors; focus points in educational activity, expectations on visitors' learning, and consciousness on changes of their own. And in Chapter 5, through multiple linear regression analysis, relationship of curators' profiles and their attitudes towards education are examined.
These analysis show that curators are developing their knowledge and methods on education through trial and error, being affected by people around them.
