Description

​

​The goals of the course are to familiarize students with how scholars and practitioners have worked to develop both individual collections and entire museums; how they have brought purpose to public institutions; and how they have served functions that advance the vision and fulfil the evolving missions of cultural institutions. Students will come to understand the organizational structure of museums and the roles within. They also will become familiar with the characteristics of different cultural institutions and how they work together and benefit one another.
