ARH 160 - An Introduction to Museum Studies

4 credits (Fall)

Introduction to Museum Studies explores a number of issues of museum history, theory, and practice, using public scholarship and research along with intensive class discussions. The content is directly applicable to students in art history, anthropology, education, history, studio art and sciences. The Grinnell College Museum of Art and Iowa museums provide examples and context. This course includes required travel as part of the prerequisite course. Students will be required to pay a $250 participation fee (most other required travel expenses will be covered). This fee will be added to the student tuition bill and is due by the first day of classes. If payment of this fee causes you financial concern, please contact Gretchen Zimmermann in the Financial Aid Office to discuss loan options to cover this additional cost for attendance.

Prerequisite: Participation in an intensive 5 day, 1/2 credit course prior to first day of classes.
Instructor: Wright
