Museum Collections and Exhibitions

4 Credits

Museums often consider their collections as “core” to their work, and even their reason for existence. But how do museums move beyond simply being “object warehouses” and activate their collections to create public value? This course analyzes how museums care for, manage, and present their collections to the public through a range of formats, including exhibitions. Students will engage in hands-on learning and will contribute to a project at the Lehigh University Art Galleries (LUAG). Attribute/Distribution: CC, HE, HU
