DECOLONIZING MUSEUMS
This course seeks to address the relationships between museums and our society. In recent decades, museums have encountered enormous changes. We will focus on these changes by mainly working through case studies. The strength of the “heritage paradigm” in the contemporary will be analyzed by focusing on some of the “tensions” surrounding museums and heritage, and the protagonists of their contemporary successes and challenges.
