Ackland Art Museum is
closed for renovation, but
you can still get an excellent
tour of the museum and learn about
art without stepping over construc
- tion materials. In fact, you don
even have to go inside.
.. "Curator: A Museum Adventure
in Collecting Art" is a new board
game based on the blueprint for
Ackland's new floor plan and the
works of art contained in the
museum. Curator, a category game
-similar to Trivial Pursuit, was
..designed to teach students and oth
t.ers about art and art galleries.
It gives you information about
difficult.
"I was concerned because the
questions are not easy," Williams
said. "They are specific, serious
questions. It's not just a little kiddy
game."
The game was designed by Wood
ward and Hopkins, a graphic design
agency in Durham.
Curator was funded primarily
through grants, including one from
the Junior League of Durham and
Orange Counties Inc., and a contri
bution through the Fund for South
ern Communities,
One thousand copies of the game
are being printed, with 300 copies of
the game being distributed to local
schools. The remaining copies will
be sold through the museum.

;how galleries work and what art
dealers do, said Ray Williams,
i.Ackland's Curator of Education and
:the creator of the game.
I' In the game, players become cura
Vtors who move through the floor
plan of Ackland Museum and try to
.. collect five color reproductions of
art works in one of seven categories.
. Categories include Ancient Greek
.-and Roman works and 19th Century
!? French works. The first curator to
; collect five works is ready to install
,a gallery and wins the game.
When players land on certain
squares, they try to answer questions
-about some of the works. Many of
the answers come from observing
the reproductions.
"The point of the questions is to
. make sure the players collect works
of art, not just a category," Williams
said.
Players also encounter risk cards
during the game. These cards can
, provide information for questions,
,' allow players to move to a certain
' gallery or impose a penalty. Penal
, ties include such things as missing a
,turn and returning to the entrance
.while you eat your snack.
Another feature of the game is the
art storage square. When players
, land on this square, they are allowed
to take a card from the discard pile.
Williams said this addition to the
. , game resulted from his family's frus
; tration when other players discarded
r " the cards they needed.
"My mother was so frustrated,"
.Williams said. "She got so bent out
of shape that I made the art storage
square."
. Williams has been working on the
game for more than a year. He felt it
! would be a good way to keep up
interest in Ackland 's collection dur
ing renovation. k ' -
v. "I was brainstorming on ways to
iv keep the collection accessible," Willi-
.. ams said. "Since we are closed, it's a
real challenge to see how we can
make the collection as accessible as
possible."
The game has been field tested in
Triangle public schools, as well as
, by an advisory committee that Willi
. ams created.
"We learned a lot from it," Willi
ams said. "We were able to make
some changes."
Even though minor changes were
... required, no major overhaul was
needed. The game went over well,
but the subject material was
