Art is described by unique art_id, title. Every art has art details. This detail contains
category, style, subject, medium, material, and tag. This system also stores the date when
the art was created.

Curators take care of the arts and place them in the right places(rooms). Art can be taken
care of by many curators and a curator can take care of many arts. Curators assign a
virtual room for each art. A room has a unique room_id, title, and size. The system also
stores the date when a curator places art in a room. Curators have unique curator_id,
name, and hiring date.

Art lovers can see the arts and they have a unique id, name, and address.
