COURSE OVERVIEW
The Postgraduate Certificate in Curating and Collections Management offers you a unique opportunity to gain practical skills in museum work and to better understand the issues facing curators and collections managers today. It will help you answer important questions such as:
How do you pitch a proposal for an exhibition?
How would you project-manage this and who would need to be involved?
How would you organise a loan for an exhibition?
What are the different ways of cataloguing a museum object and why does the information you keep matter?
How would you store a sacred object, or something that was extremely fragile?
You will spend two intensive weeks (one each year) studying the foundational principles of curating and collections management, debating the challenges and opportunities of contemporary museums and gallery practice, and visiting London museums and galleries. You will listen to experts talking about their working practices, learn skills of documentation and work in groups to develop an exhibition.
This Postgraduate Certificate is suitable if you have a first degree and are interested in a vocational qualification, or as a refresher course if you are already working in a museum and gallery.
