    Description
    This course begins with an introduction to the theory surrounding art museum and gallery design and ends with practical, hands-on work experience in the college gallery setting. All major aspects of management and operation will be covered, alongside discussion of museum and gallery design. The role of museums and galleries in society will also be considered and students will employ multidisciplinary approaches to explore how museums and galleries are reacting to modern social, political, historical, and economic issues. Museum and gallery approaches through time will also be evaluated as exclusionary and/or inclusionary spaces. The two college art galleries will serve as laboratories where students will work with the instructor to critically evaluate, select, curate, and hang artwork. Students will also be asked to critique current exhibitions on display in area institutions.
