Pores over the list to find an exhibit in the art museum (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

constable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'find an exhibit in the art museum' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'pores over the list' is the wordplay.
'pores over' becomes 'cons' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'the list' becomes 'table' (I've seen this in other clues).
'cons'+'table'='CONSTABLE'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for constable that I've seen before include "Policeman - landscape artist" , "Bobby" , "Force member" , "Artist; police officer" , "PC" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
