Museums and Heritage: Management, Conservation and Dissemination of Collections and Cultural Patrimony
You are here
The course will provide a broad overview of past and current strategies adopted to preserve, enhance and communicate cultural heritage. Through an interdisciplinary approach mixing museology, history and art history, management and sociology, this course will allow students to understand and appreciate the way museums preserve, develop, study and communicate their collection for the benefit of the public, but also how the European museums are financed and managed, what are their similarities and differences with American museums, and how major challenges facing museums in the 21st century could be faced. The program offers a unique opportunity to examine how three major European capitals, closely linked with the museum world, have developed a major network of museums in order to enhance their cultural lives.
