Course Info

This course is an introduction to ways of seeing, understanding, and experiencing museums.

We’ll start with the Big Question: What is a Museum? to examine our assumptions, knowledge, and expectations of museums.

Then, we’ll learn how to explore museums through the lenses of institutional histories, space and place, and the people that make museums work.
