Course content
The course topic will vary according to the excursion, which usually has a European country as destination. Most of the teaching will take place during the excursion and will thus be linked to galleries, art historical monuments or urban environment. In some cases activities include practical work in collaboration with museums and collections. In addition to the main excursion the course may also include visits to local destinations.
"Gjenstandsfortellinger" has been developed in close collaboration with the University Museum at NTNU. Selected sections of the museum's medieval art collection will be presented in a web exhibition. Students at KUH3201 will develop this exhibition through independent object related studies, examinations of source material, and writing of short texts in different scientific genres (exhibition text, blog, etc.). The result of this work will be published on the University Museum's website. The course provides work experience and gives a unique insight into museum practice and dissemination. The excursion will probably go to Stockholm, with particular focus on medieval art at Statens Historiska Museum.
