Is there any linguistic connection between the curator of a museum and the curate of a church?

Yes, very much so. Both come directly from the Latin curare, "to take care of".

A curate takes care of the souls of his parishioners and a curator takes care of the museum and exhibits.


Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
