Museum Exhibit Curation

Catalog description

This course offers professional-level training in the theoretical and practical workings of museums and museum curation by empowering students to co-curate an exhibit in the West Chester University Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology. The course is designed for students with prior museum and museum-studies experience wishing to increase their competencies, and for students in or entering a graduate program who have not previously curated an exhibit or who would like to increase their competencies. Students will engage in the entire process of museum curation, from planning the exhibit to acquisitioning and cataloging artifacts for display, from writing museum labels to publishing an exhibit catalog.
