Here is variant of your code.Display is turned off by setting
DisplayFunction -> Identity and is turned on by setting DisplayFunction
-> $DisplayFunction
In this case you do not need to specify the plot range, but it is a good
precaution if you want to display all the plot, and here it can be done
by PlotRange -> All.

(1)
curve1 := Plot[Sin[2 x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, PlotRange -> All,
 DisplayFunction -> Identity];

 curve2 :=
  Plot[Cos[3 x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, PlotRange -> All, DisplayFunction ->
Identity];

curve:=
 Graphics[
  {Rectangle[Scaled[{0,0}],Scaled[{0.5,1}],curve1],
   Rectangle[Scaled[{0.5,0}],Scaled[{1,1}],curve2]
  }
 ];

 Show[curve,   (*Graphics wrapper not needed*)
 DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction ];

(2) You may find GraphicsArray useful


Show[GraphicsArray[{curve1,curve2},Frame->True ]];

Graphics array automatically sets DisplayFunction -> $DisplayFunction

(3) The display can be programmed very compactly

Show[ Block[{$DisplayFunction = Identity}, GraphicsArray[
   {Plot[Sin[2 x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, PlotRange-> All],
    Plot[Cos[3x], {x, -Pi, Pi}, PlotRange ->All]
   }]], Frame->True];

or

Show[ Block[{$DisplayFunction = Identity}, GraphicsArray[
   Plot[#,{x, -Pi, Pi}, PlotRange-> All]&/@{Sin[2x],Cos[3x]} ]],
Frame->True];
