Full Job Description

Overview:

The Princeton University Art Museum welcomes applications for the role of Registrar.

The Registrar has primary responsibility for managing the logistical arrangements for the Art Museum’s robust schedule of exhibitions. The Registrar is the senior member of a team of two registrars responsible for managing the Museum’s active program of outgoing loans from its collection to museums and cultural institutions. The Registrar also oversees the active incoming loan program. This is distinct from incoming exhibition-related loans and consists of short- and long-term loans from collectors and institutions.

The Registrar reports to the Chief Registrar, who reports to the Sr. Associate Director for Collections and Exhibitions. The Registrar mentors the Associate Registrar and provides guidance and training to them as appropriate.

About the Museum:

With a collecting history that dates back to 1755, the Princeton University Art Museum is one of the leading university art museums in the country, featuring collections that have grown to include over 117,000 works of art, ranging from ancient to contemporary pieces and spanning the globe. Committed to advancing Princeton’s teaching and research missions, the Art Museum also serves as a gateway to the University for visitors from around the world.

The bold and welcoming new Princeton University Art Museum is open daily at the heart of Princeton’s campus. Admission is free to all. The Museum also operates Art@Bainbridge, a gallery project at 158 Nassau Street; two Museum Stores; and Mosaic restaurant.
