How are these salary figures calculated?

What is in the dataset. The unit is a job advertised by a museum, gallery or cultural institution, in any function — curatorial and collections work, but also conservation, education, production, communications and administration at those institutions. It is not a dataset about curators alone, and not about the wider arts or academic job market: a role is in scope because of who is hiring, not because of its title. The named roles on /roles classify a subset of this set; they do not define its edges.

The share stating pay is a floor, not a measurement. Every figure below is real — taken from an advert, never estimated. What is under-counted is the proportion: where a posting reaches us through a platform we do not yet parse correctly, its salary is missed and the posting counts as silent. Readers found this in the UK figures in September 2026 and were right. Extraction is being rebuilt; the disclosure rate will rise as it is.
