博物馆和展览策划

Museums are public cultural institutions integrating collection, research, display and education: they play a key role in preserving our collective cultural heritage. Compared to other developed countries, the establishment of public museums in China is still a process in the making. We still need to find ways to elicit the enthusiasm and interaction of visitors. This course will introduce students to the definition of museum, their complex history of museums both at home and abroad, types, displays, the management practices of museums, and visitors’ experience. The instructor will guide the students in the analysis of famous or less-known, but nevertheless distinctive museums he has visited and occasionally, will enrich his lectures with anecdotes about the collection and exhibition of cultural relics. This course aims to broaden students’ horizons and enrich their liberal education.
