Learning outcomes

The entire course, generally devoted to HISTORY OF ART CRITICISM, will pertain to the field of MUSEUM STUDIES . Its goal is to confront students with a number of highly professionalizing issues.  

Syllabus

The course's part taught by Prof. Galizzi Kroegel will deal with "The History of Berlin Museums Thirty Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall". Its aim is to demonstrate how museums may function both as a means of self-representation on the side of those who founded them, and as an interpretative tool which allows us to better understand the society in which they developed.

Assessment methods and criteria

Written exam (unless the COVID-19 situation will recommend to have online exams also next January and February). The exam consists of six questions, three for the part of Dr. Manoli, and three for the part of Professor Galizzi Kroegel.
For the part taught by prof. Galizzi Kroegel, two questions will require the discussion of one of the issues analyzed in class; the third question will require the identification of one of the images included in the power-point presentations shown in class, and made available to the students at the end of the course at the latest.
Each answer will be graded from 1 to 5 point, so that the total of six correct answers will be 30 points. Students will have a total of two hours for the whole exam; both parts of the exam must be taken in the same session.
