The aim of this course, which combines lectures and seminars, is to provide an overview of the basic institutional framework of museums and galleries as key institutional infrastructure for the field of art history. The course will include a historical reflection on museology, a basic theoretical introduction to the field, as well as practical familiarization with museum and gallery operationsincluding cataloging, appraisal, and presentationwith a particular emphasis on curatorial competencies. A key aspect of the course will be on-site visits to selected collection institutions, supplemented by tours not only of exhibitions and displays but also of the facilities of these institutions. The concrete experience facilitated by the staff of these institutions, and above all the interaction with students, will allow for a firsthand and immediate understanding of the principles of museum and gallery work in a real-world setting. Students will thus not only gain factual and theoretical knowledge about this field of applied art history but will also master practical methods of working in museums and galleries, which will be assessed through seminar assignments.
Understanding the principles behind how museums and galleries operate and their role in society and the competences of a curator.
