Rives Ladies and gentlemen, TED curator, Chris Anderson.

In 1994, when I was a curator at the Whitney Museum,

He was a curator at some British museum... or The British Museum.

In a very nice and close atmosphere, the curator and some of his team meet with the speakers.

This is the Natural History Museum in Rotterdam, where I work as a curator.

Here you're going to see the very highest resolution MRI scan done today, reconstructed of Marc Hodosh, the curator of TEDMED.
