(syllabus)
The birth of the museum institution in Europe between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
The course will trace the history of some eighteenth-century European collections at the base of the birth of the museum institution in order to provide the tools for understanding the foundation and function of the museum through the history of single Roman case studies. Lectures will alternate with visits and seminars dedicated to the history of the museum as an institution of the Age of Enlightenment. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the first modern, public museums of art—civic, state, or national—appeared throughout Europe, setting a standard for the nature of such institutions that influence the role of the museums to the present day. Although the emergence of these museums was an international development and the course aims to share their history through of the earliest major examples, from the Capitoline Museum in Rome, opened in 1734, to the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, opened in 1836.
During the lessons will be presented the historiographic hubs useful to understand the evolution of museums and their role in the protection, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage.
