COURSE DESCRIPTION<\/h4>\n

All museums have a responsibility to preserve and interpret our cultural and natural heritage for the benefit of the public and society. However, museums are more than just the collections they house and the exhibits and programs they present. Each museum is a complex network of individuals, whose common goal is to create knowledge and exchange information and experiences with others. The course introduces students to a wide range of theoretical and practical approaches to the study of museums. It examines the strategies and practices by which museums interpret, organize and display exhibits in different cultural contexts. It analyzes the meanings produced through architecture, space layout and exhibition practices and explores key issues related to the science of museology, cultural heritage management, emerging forms of digital curation and museology, as well as national identity, gender, colonialism and decolonization.<\/p>\n
