She is a former Fellow of the Center for Curatorial Leadership, New York.
Caroline was previously the Director of Collections and Research at the National Gallery, London. She held curatorial positions at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the Courtauld Gallery, London, and the National Gallery. Caroline has published widely on European art from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, particularly on the Italian Renaissance, and has curated and co-curated many exhibitions.
Caroline is a strong advocate of widening participation and digital engagement in museums. Her interest in art history developed after a visit to the National Gallery of Ireland as a teenager, and she wants all young people to be able to see and enjoy great art.
