Depending on how they are counted, extensive collections may contain thousands of exhibits. To ensure the museum and its exhibitions run smoothly, managing the collection requires meticulous attention to logistics. The curatorial service enables items to be loaned from the museum’s collections for various purposes, as the curator handles the logistics and set-up relating to the equipment.

Content production for media channels

This has been utilised for various purposes, ranging from social media posts to advertisements for national institutions, with the Kallio Computer Museum having been designed to reflect the environments of the 1970s to the 1990s. With the curator’s help, you can obtain fantastic, authentic content for your own publications, whether for social media channels, adverts or film productions.

What does the curator of The Computer Museum of Kallio do?

It’s now easier than ever to get involved in computer culture! The curator is an expert primarily responsible for ensuring a successful event. The curator is also multilingual. They can provide services in several different languages, such as Finnish, English, and Hungarian. Curators can visit schools, companies, and events, or be on hand to create custom content and experiences upon request in locally and internationally.

In addition to providing expertise, the curator’s most important tasks include handling logistics, setting up equipment, and providing guidance on its use. Depending on the situation, the curator may either attend or host events. For example, for educational institutions, the museum curator brings invaluable added value through unique presentations that offer a glimpse into the secrets of classic computer hardware.
