Art History: Museum Seminars
The Museum Seminar is designed to give students exposure to major museums and the experience of viewing works of art in person. The course is organized around a 4 or 5 day trip to a particular city such as New York City. In the classroom, students study the art collections and architecture of the city in preparation for the trip; after the trip, assignments are designed to foster reflection on the trip and further research on selected artworks. The student is responsible for paying an extra charge for travel (which includes air travel, hotel, and museum admissions). Course may be repeated up to 16 hours credit as long as destination changes.
