About

The London and its Museums program from Queen Mary University of London will equip students with the historical, theoretical, and practical knowledge necessary for studying culture through institutional collections. 

Overview

The class will analyse the techniques and practices museums use to collect, organise, and display their objects; we will consider the messages these institutions send through their architecture, patronage, and methods of display; and we will delve into some of the most important issues affecting cultural institutions today like decolonisation, repatriation, and social impact. 

Aside from the introductory class, the module will take place off campus, with seminar groups visiting a different institution in each meeting.
