SP TP - Museum Exhibition A-Z

Catalog description

This course will introduce students to the conceptual and practical concerns of developing museum exhibitions. Students will discuss the exhibition as a metaphor and learn ways to communicate this metaphor most effectively. Students will examine how the exhibition process defines and is defined by the mission of the host institution, and will build skills in key areas of exhibition development - from design to wall texts, programming to audience research. The class will consider the experiences of both specialist exhibition developers in large museums and generalists meeting many competing needs in smaller institutions.
