Training objectives
- The goal of these lessons is to describe the transition whereby personal collections of objects become part of institutions open to the public, where they are conserved, displayed and critically promoted, in the attempt to ‘convey’, not just «the connection between one work of art and another, but between the work and the world, sociality, economy, religion, politics, and everything else» (R. Longhi, "Proposte per una critica dell’arte", «Paragone», I, 1950, p. 16).
In addition to the information and knowledge which form the basis of the competence required, the course will try to provide guidelines to the educational activity and to those new dimensions of museums, which put visitors from all walks of life into contact with the objects. The students, at the end of the course, will have become familiar with the basic elements which will enable them to be suitable, that is to say qualified, after the further studies and specialisation required by law, to work professionally in the world of museums.
