Hi, and welcome. I’m Aurora (she/her), a curator and museum professional from Oslo, Norway. I’m glad you’ve found your way here.

My work has taken me through South Korea, the United States, the Netherlands, and Norway, spanning curation, exhibition-making, programming, and audience engagement. Along the way, I’ve become fascinated by how museums tell stories, not only through objects and artworks, but through the spaces, sounds, textures, and encounters that shape how we experience them.

This curiosity followed me into my MA in Museum & Heritage Studies at the University of Amsterdam, where I developed a particular interest in multisensory museology and accessibility. My research explored what happens when we think beyond simply seeing an exhibition and consider sound, touch, smell, movement, atmosphere, and the way our bodies experience museum spaces.

It’s also what draws me to exhibitions that invite curiosity and discovery, whether through an unexpected scent, something you’re actually allowed to touch, a story told through sound, or simply a thoughtfully designed space. To me, accessibility and creativity go hand in hand. Sometimes, thinking differently about how we experience something is precisely what makes an exhibition more interesting.

Now, with my MA completed, I’m looking for opportunities across curation, exhibition development, programming, and visitor experience, particularly where these areas overlap. A CV can tell you where I’ve been, but it can’t quite show you what I care about, so have a look around and let my work do some of the talking.
