Museums and collections are in full motion now that their social functions are changing rapidly under political and economic pressure. There is increasing overlap between the traditional tasks of the museum curators, the educational department and the management. Globalisation and changing geopolitical relations have a major impact on the status of cultural heritage, including political, Legal and museological aspects.
In the Museums and Collections specialisation you will learn about the broad spectrum of ethical, political and practical dilemmas that affect museums. You will also be challenged to think creatively about sustainable, broad-based solutions.
