Description: By some estimates there are more than 10,000 museums in the United States alone. While most people think of a well-staffed, professionally run institution, the vast majority of museums are started and run by people with little or no basic training in museum studies or preservation. Introduction to Museums is crafted to change that. The course introduces basic concepts, terminology and the role of various staff members, including curators, registrars and directors. Introduction to Museums is aimed at board members, interns and volunteers, as well as anyone interested in becoming a museum professional or learning more about the profession. Course Outline Week 1. What is a Museum? Week 2. History of Museums Week 3. Museum Models Week 4. Roles in the Museum Participants in Introduction to Museums work through sections at their own pace. Instructor Kiersten F. Latham is available for scheduled email support. Materials and resources include online literature, slide lectures and dialog between students and online chats led by the instructor. The course is limited to 20 participants. Introduction to Museums runs four weeks..
