Culture on Display |
3 - 0 - 3 |
45 |
|
| Description for Course: |
This course examines the ways in which museum displays shape our understanding of culture. A museum is a place where we can be exposed to cultures of different peoples, times, and aspects of culture. However, what we see in museums is curated, and chosen in order to tell a specific story. Selective stories of culture are thus created, where some narratives are emphasized and others are excluded. We will have guided visits to local museums as well as virtual visits to museums elsewhere in the world with the goal of exploring how museum displays are curated. Using comparative analysis we will examine how stories about culture are created and how each story leaves us with a different understanding of the culture we are exploring. |
