Course Description

New York City is home to one of the world’s best museum ecologies.  This seminar studies that ecology by museum type, against the backdrop of the city’s cultural, economic, and social history.  How can theories of collecting explain different museum types?  How do museums anchor municipal identity?  Class sessions will alternate between discussion sessions at Barnard, and field trips to museums.
