ANTH 228D - P3 Introduction to Museum Studies

Institution:

Saint John Fisher University

Subject:

Description:

Museums are repositories of world knowledge in all its formats (oral, textual, and artifactual) and are significant disseminators of this knowledge. These dual roles of preservation and presentation require that modern museums draw upon a wide range of disciplines and seek creative and non-traditional strategies to effectively serve their communities. The purpose of this course is to introduce the students to the nature, operation, and purpose of museums. Field trips to area museums and preparation of exhibits in the Anthropology Department's display cases are scheduled throughout the semester and are a required part of the course. Cross-listed with Arts 228D. Recommended Prerequisite: One prior course in Anthropology (ANTH 100D, 203D, or 202D is preferred).
