By the end of the course, students will have an overview of the range of activities carried out in large museum institutions, acquire knowledge of the roles of museums beyond their presentational function, and gain practical experience in analysing museum exhibitions, thereby also acquiring the tools necessary for successful professional practice in the museum field.
