Course content
The course provides a broad, theory-based introduction to the museum sector and the research field of museology. Focusing on museum ethics as well as on exhibition productions and other forms of museal outreach activities, the course also gives attention to other important museum activities. Whereas the course centres on museums of cultural history, it also includes other types of museums and heritage centres.
