Museology

Course Objective

The museums had long been considered as mere temples housing something of the past, but
in today's highly competitive world, they point to an interesting future. The museum
landscape has become so varied, that it may not suffice to use merely three traditional
categories, namely historical, technological and thematic museums to grasp the vast
variety existing throughout the world. The aim of this course is toprovide to the
students the background to discuss this variety by highlighting the importance of
exhibition techniques for different audiences.
