Topics in this seminar-style discussion will include conservation, blockbuster exhibitions, racial divisions in museum attendance, exhibition styles, labeling of exhibited objects, art forgeries and theft, and the appropriation of cultural treasures from one nation to another. The final project will be to design an exhibition of the student’s choosing. $100 course fee to cover museum admissions and tour costs.
