Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to prepare sites for the display of collection material. It focuses on the assembly and construction of display mounts and so has a strong link to general building and construction skills.

It applies to individuals who construct and assemble display areas with temporary or permanent components. In large cultural organisations, this work may constitute a complete job and be the responsibility of qualified tradespeople working under the guidance of curators and other specialised senior staff. In smaller organisations, people with a wide range of general and collection-management responsibilities may undertake this role, either under supervision or autonomously.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Unit Sector

Collection management - cultural services
