| ARHT 313 - MUSEUMS IN AMERICA: HISTORY, ART AND SOCIETY |
|
This course begins with the premise that the United States has, from its
inception, attempted to represent itself, and thereby become itself, through its
museums. From ]efferson’s "Indian Hall” to Peale’s Museum, to the Smithsonian
museums of today, the United States has used museums to forge national
identity and national pride. The study of museums and similar institutions, as
they develop over the long nineteenth century and into our own times, is the
study of the development of a society of exhibition and display, but also of how
these institutions, so influential in our own times, came into existence. Two site
visits to NYC museums are included in the curriculum. This course is cross
listed, and is a part of the Art History (ARHT-313) and American Studies (AMER-313 programs.
