Overview
Features
- The program at New York University allows both MA and PhD students who are interested in Curatorial Practice and Museum History to take courses focused on the study of the materiality, history, and display of objects, as well as the development of collections.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The introductory seminar will examine a wide variety of approaches to curatorship by both in-class lectures and numerous visits to museums (both large and small), libraries, archives, and private collections.
- Curatorial courses taught by the Institute and Conservation Center faculty, and some taught by visiting curators, will focus on individual exhibitions or groups of exhibitions, or on larger art historical themes examined through a curatorial lens.
- Students may also take one or more of the courses without fulfilling the requirements for the Concentration. Participants are encouraged to seek internships at museums during their time at the Institute.
