ARH 330 THE UN/ETHICAL MUSEUM
This course explores museums and art collections as
sites of conflict. Students will be introduced to ethical and legal aspects of
art’s acquisition, ownership, and display, as well as case studies that
highlight shifting historical perspectives on art’s plunder and destruction.
The course culminates in an independent research project that isolates a current
controversy in the ethics of art collection, display, or preservation. Museum
visits and attendance at additional lectures will be required. No
prerequisites.
