Overview
Curatorship examines the principles and practices of the modern museum, nowadays considered a site of social interaction more than an historical treasure palace. Students will examine the role of the curator in relationship to a museum’s mission, and how technology is changing the way in which museums fulfill their curatorial responsibilities. The relationship between curator and collector and the procedures for realizing a successful exhibition will be studied. Case studies of best curatorial practices internationally, and on-site visits to private and public art collections, archaeological sites and museums, will critique ideas about curatorial roles and exhibitions.
