MUSE 300A/MUSI 221A: Musical Instrument Investigation

Info

Examines historic and contemporary curatorial methods while exploring ways to apply these methods appropriately in the development of a current exhibition. Students build on their understanding of the theoretical and ethical issues in museums while engaging with the practical challenges confronted by museum curators, such as complicated museum legacies, curatorial voice, collaboration, and accessible design. Students apply this knowledge while conducting object-based research, designing displays, and writing interpretive texts.

For the Fall 2021 semester, students developed "Beyond the Beat," an exhibition for the Longyear Museum of Anthropology focused on the theme of “Music."
