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.
