ARTH 371 - African Art in Museums: From Collection to Display

FC ARHU CD
4 credits
How should we display African objects in museums? Students in this seminar will answer this question by helping to design a semi-permanent installation of African art at the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Connecting theory with practice, we will read about the histories of looting, collecting, and display; meet with museum professionals; debate labeling and research strategies; and visit installations of African art in Cleveland and elsewhere. Field trip(s) required.

Prerequisites: one 100-Level course in AAST or ARTH.
