Description:

This course offers a broad introduction to the museum as a cultural site and museum studies as a discipline with focus on theoretical issues. Introduction to the history and roles of museums as well as collecting and critical issues related to museums; the character and functions of various types of museums (art, natural history, ethnographical, et al); current theoretical debates about the societal roles of museums; the mandates of collecting, interpreting, exhibiting, and preserving objects; the role of the built environment and technology in museums and collections; the museum as a professional institution and career opportunities in museums.

Readings:

The main text for the course:

Edward Alexander and Mary Alexander. Museums in Motion: An Introduction to the History and

Function of Museums, Second Edition, Altamira, 2008.

Also required: the various articles on the reading schedule, available from Jstor, the library digital reserves, on

blackboard, or otherwise indicated. Students should print out these articles and bring them to class for

discussion in the appropriate week.

Evaluation:

Think pieces (14 total) 10% (10 points)

Field trip reflections (3 total) 15% (15 points)

Participation 15% (15 points)

Project #1 20% (20 points)

Project #2 20% (20 points)

Final Exam 20% (20 points)

Total 100 points

Style sheet: All written assignments should be double-spaced, 1-1.25 inch margins, Times New Roman 12

point: this decision will save you time and the effort of aesthetic deliberation.

Think pieces:

In order to prepare for class discussion of the readings, each student will submit weekly a two page response:

this might include thoughts or reactions, musings upon how the readings are particularly relevant to topics

studied in the course, or unanswered questions raised by the readings; in some weeks specific

prompts/reading questions will be distributed. These should not simply be a summary of the articles, but

should exhibit some thought and consideration of the issues at hand. The response to the week’s readings

can be submitted via e-mail as a .doc/x, .txt, or .pdf by 5 PM WEDNESDAY of that week or printed out and

turned in at classtime. Title of the submitted file should be modeled on “388Lastname[week].doc” (so, for

week 2 readings, “388Smith2.doc”). These will be marked on a scale of outstanding (1 point)/ satisfactory (.5

point)/ unsatisfactory (0 points).

Museum Visit Reflections:

You are required to visit three museums throughout the semester on your own time. A list of acceptable local

museums/sites is attached. As you visit the sites, be mindful of the topics and issues you have read in class

readings, and discussed in class. Reflection papers should be in the same format as the think pieces (2 pages in

length) but reflect on thoughts and ideas related to the museum visits you make throughout the term. Make

sure to include citations if neccessary. These will be due by the final exam: May 11th, but you are encouraged

to turn them in earlier in the semester if possible. One museum visit reflection can be written about our class

visit to the Springfield Art Museum on March 30th. These are worth 5 points each/15 total points.

Participation:

Students should be present at classes, active in discussion and in-class projects. In addition, participation

activities will be distributed throughout the semester. Complete the research and be ready to present your

response at classtime for full participation points. Points will be awarded for attendance at class, being active

in discussion, and presenting responses to the participation activities. 15 points possible

Projects:

Projects are formal written assignments. See attached instructions for details. Students will choose two of the

three available project choices. Studio Art and Art History students should anticipate selecting material related

to art museums/exhibitions/objects, while majors in other fields (Anthropology, History, Natural Sciences, etc)

will select materials appropriate for their own discipline. Each project will be worth 20 points for a total of 40

points possible. Project #1 due: March 23 & Project #2 due: May 4th

Final Exam:

The final exam will be made up of multiple choice, short answer, and essay. It will be cumulative, and worth 20

points towards your grade. The exam will be from 5:45-7:45pm on May 11.

POLICIES:

GRADING POLICY:

All work will be evaluated according to the following scale:

93-100: A 80-82: B- 67-69: D+

90-92: A- 77-79: C+ 60-66: D

87-89: B+ 73-76: C 59 and lower: Fail

83-86: B 70-72: C-

ATTENDANCE: The university catalog states: "Because class attendance and course grade are demonstrably

and positively related, the University expects students to attend all class sessions of courses in which they are

enrolled." In the event that a student misses a class, it is that student's responsibility to obtain class notes

from another student and to request a copy of any distributed handouts. Do not e-mail me expecting me to

provide notes to you, regardless of the reason for your absence.

Students must be present for scheduled exams and submit written assignments on the date due.

Make-up exams and quizzes will not be permitted (unless absence is due to: 1) participation in University-

sanctioned activities and programs; 2) personal illness; or 3) family and/or other compelling circumstances (at

my discretion); Forged documentation is a serious form of academic dishonesty). Students missing an exam or

quiz due to illness or compelling circumstances must present documentation (such as a doctors note, tow-

truck receipt, note from funeral director, et al); students participating in University-sanctioned programs (such

as sports) are responsible for presenting official documentation in advance of any events that conflict with

class, and excused absences will be given at my discretion.

"Students who expect to miss classes, examinations, or other assignments as a consequence of their sincerely

held religious belief shall be provided with a reasonable alternative opportunity to complete such academic

responsibilities. It is the obligation of students to provide faculty with reasonable notice of the dates of

religious observances on which they will be absent by submitting a Request for Religious Accommodation Form

to the instructor by the end of the third week of a full semester course or the end of the second week of a half

semester course. Absence from classes or examinations for religious reasons does not relieve students from

responsibility for any part of the course work required during the period of absence. The instructor may also

appropriately respond if the student fails to satisfactorily complete any alternative assignment or examination.

For more on this policy see http://www.missouristate.edu/policy/religiousaccommodation.htm"

Late written assignments will be penalized 5% per calendar day at 5 PM.

Late arrivals to quizzes will not be accommodated.

DROP POLICY: "It is your responsibility to understand the University's procedure for dropping a class. If you

stop attending this class but do not follow proper procedure for dropping the class, you will receive a failing

http://www.missouristate.edu/policy/religiousaccommodation.htm

grade and will also be financially obligated to pay for the class. For information about dropping a class or

withdrawing from the university, contact the Office of the Registrar at 836-5520. For deadlines, consult

http://calendar.missouristate.edu/academic.aspx"

DISABILITY ACCOMODATIONS: "To request academic accommodations for a disability, contact the Director of

the Disability Resource Center, Plaster Student Union, Suite 405, (417) 836-4192 or (417) 836-6792 (TTY),

www.missouristate.edu/disability. Students are required to provide documentation of disability to the

Disability Resource Center prior to receiving accommodations. The Disability Resource Center refers some

types of accommodation requests to the Learning Diagnostic Clinic, which also provides diagnostic testing for

learning and psychological disabilities. For information about testing, contact the Director of the Learning

Diagnostic Clinic, (417) 836-4787, http://psychology.missouristate.edu/ldc." Any student with a disability

should see me in the first week of classes so that proper accommodations may be made promptly.

Emergency Response Statement

"Students who require assistance during an emergency evacuation must discuss their needs with their

professors and the Disability Resource Center. If you have emergency medical information to share with me,

or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with

me as soon as possible. For additional information students should contact the Disability Resource Center,

836-4192 (PSU 405), or Larry Combs, Interim Assistant Director of Public Safety and Transportation at 836-

6576. For further information on Missouri State University's Emergency Response Plan, please refer to the

following web site: http://www.missouristate.edu/safetran/erp.htm"

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/NONDISCRIMINATION: "Missouri State University is an equal opportunity/affirmative

action institution, and maintains a grievance procedure available to any person who believes he or she has

been discriminated against. At all times, it is your right to address inquiries or concerns about possible

discrimination to the Office for Equity and Diversity, Park Central Office Building, 117 Park Central Square,

Suite 111, (417) 836-4252. Other types of concerns (i.e., concerns of an academic nature) should be discussed

directly with your instructor and can also be brought to the attention of your instructor's Department

Head. Please visit the OED website at www.missouristate.edu/equity/."

CELL PHONES: "As a member of the learning community, each student has a responsibility to other students

who are members of the community. When cell phones or pagers ring and students respond in class or leave

class to respond, it disrupts the class. Therefore, the Office of the Provost prohibits the use by students of

cell phones, pagers, PDAs, or similar communication devices during scheduled classes. All such devices must

be turned off or put in a silent (vibrate) mode and ordinarily should not be taken out during class. Given the

fact that these same communication devices are an integral part of the University's emergency notification

system, an exception to this policy would occur when numerous devices activate simultaneously. When this

occurs, students may consult their devices to determine if a university emergency exists. If that is not the

case, the devices should be immediately returned to silent mode and put away. Other exceptions to this

policy may be granted at the discretion of the instructor. "

Other gadgets: Note the bolded parts of the policy above: Any use of gadgets in class is made possible

because of my kindness/ inattentiveness. Please don't text/fiddle with your cell phones during class—I notice

it, other students notice it, and it's distracting and annoying for the rest of us.

http://www.missouristate.edu/equity/

If you want to use a laptop in class, please ask me in advance at the start of the term: unless you have a

documented learning disability that necessitates typing your notes, remember that you are permitted to use

that laptop solely at my discretion and I reserve the right to ask you to put it away at any time, so please kindly

disable your internet and don't multitask—see texting above. Your IM, e-mail, web browsing, Facebook

activity is distracting to you, me, and others.

If you want to audio record lecture with a recording device of some sort ask me in advance; it will be your own

responsibility to implement and maintain that technology (do not rely on me to operate your device). Please

do not video record lectures.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: "Missouri State University is a community of scholars committed to developing

educated persons who accept the responsibility to practice personal and academic integrity. You are

responsible for knowing and following the university's student honor code, Student Academic Integrity Policies

and Procedures, available at www.missouristate.edu/policy/academicintegritystudents.htm and also available

at the Reserves Desk in Meyer Library. Any student participating in any form of academic dishonesty will be

subject to sanctions as described in this policy. If you are accused of violating this policy and are in the appeals

process, you should continue participating in the class." In this course I expect ALL WRITTEN WORK (exam

essays, written assignments, annotated bibliographies, short responses) to be in an individual student's own

words. Individual writing assignments will clarify this policy thoroughly.

MST388/ART388 The Museum: History and Perspectives Spring 2016

Comparisons Activity

Due February 10th

History can mean different things to different people. The purpose of this activity is to analyze how different museums interpret the same or similar subject matter. You will visit web sites from at the minimum three museums that collect and interpret the years surrounding the Civil War. As you visit the website, analyze the perspective of the museum. Find the mission statement of the museum, identify their interpretive stance, and the relationship of that interpretation to its particular context (location, mission, governance, target audience, and other community stakeholders). Try to narrow down the interpretive theme of each museum you choose into one sentence. Come to class ready to discuss the museums you selected: their missions, their collections, and how they are similar or different to each other. A list of websites are available below, however you should feel free to research other sites not on this list, as long as the institution identifies & functions as a museum.

MST/ART 388: The Museum: History and Perspectives SP 2016 Complete 2 of the 3 projects Due March 23 & May 4 Russell

Project #1

Choose this project if you would like to explore deeper any approved topic from class lectures, discussions, or

readings. Appropriate topics would be anything related to museum management, or the museum experience

(see list below for ideas, although you can come up with your own idea if you'd like). After you have gotten

instructor approval via email, you will research your topic in scholarly sources (find at least 5 good ones), and

write a 5 page paper discussing your findings. Your paper will need to be accompanied by a good bibliography

of your sources. If you have unanswered questions from class, or would like to explore a topic further, this is a

good option for you. Please remember you must get instructor approval on your topic, so if you are thinking

of this option, remember to email me your paper ideas and we will find a suitable topic, or you can choose

from below.

Topic ideas:

Closely examine a controversial exhibit, or several controversial exhibits to analyze the museum's role in

society: is the museum a forum for social change? Discuss the opinions of museum studies scholars regarding

this topic.

Examine controversial deaccessions that have occurred in recent years (Detroit Art Institute to name one).

Analyze why they were controversial, and discuss if deaccessioning museum objects is ethical (why or why

not?).

Research NAGPRA (Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act), discuss the act, why it was

neccessary, and why Native American objects are still fought over in the legal system today.

We have seen how museum collections have been established from wealthy, European men. How have

museums broadened their collections over the years to include other types of people? Are various groups of

people represented in museum exhibits? Give examples.

Research and discuss the debate about the affects of collecting on indigineous peoples. What role has the

museum played in the cultural survival of indigineous peoples? Discuss the different scholarly viewpoints

about how their objects should be displayed in the museum setting.

Project #2

This project is based on a museum or collection (based on your area of interest) that you will visit at least once

in the course of the semester. Either choose a small museum/collection, or focus on one section of a larger

institution.

With the consultation of the instructor, choose one exhibit, either a permanent or short term

exhibit (or the whole museum if it is a very small one), and write a 5 page paper analyzing and

evaluating it from the perspective of the visitor. Prior to starting this project, email the instructor

for approval of the exhibit/museum.

Name of the museum, title of the exhibition.

What appears to be the theme? In other words, what is the “thesis” of the exhibition and how is that theme/thesis communicated and underlined? What are the sub-themes? How do they support the overall educational goals of the exhibit?

What objects/materials are incorporated into the exhibit, if any? What is the range of objects/ what is included/excluded? Are the criteria clearly discernable? Is the reason for inclusion of an object overtly stated? What objects do you think are missing that would have been powerful to include? Are any objects redundant?

How are these objects displayed? Discuss presentation techniques, sequence and flow, labels, lighting, evaluation tools, catalog or other publications? Is any special technology used in the exhibit? Are the areas accessable to all visitors?

Does the architecture and planning of the space serve the exhibit? What effect do these factors have on the exhibit? How is the audience’s experience shaped by physical factors? Is there a physically imposed/suggested ‘narrative’ or route or itinerary?

Based on your observations, who is the audience for this exhibit? How is the material geared towards that specific audience? Are there specific groups targeted? Excluded? Make a list of all of the different types of people in the community that this museum serves. Would they all feel welcome in this space? Why or why not?

Briefly interview two other visitors (you can use your friends for this) to find out their response to the interpretation of the exhibition. What did they come out of the exhibition with? Was what they walked out with what you think was intended/did they “get it”? If the visitor response and intended message are spectacularly divergent, what do you think can account for it?

After your visit, come up with 5 concise questions about the exhibit and request a short interview with the museum staff responsible for conceptualizing the exhibit (get instructor help with this if you do not know which staff member to contact). This can be done via email. Incorporate your experience interviewing the museum staff into your paper.

Find the mission statement for the museum. Does this exhibit meet the mission of the organization?

Project #3

Conceptualize an exhibit including a minimum of 5 objects. Your exhibit theme should be something that can

be fully fleshed out using the objects to illustrate a larger theme that you support with at least five scholarly

references. The objects can be things that you own, objects in a museum collection, or really any object

anywhere. You do not have to physically be present with the object to use it in your exhibit, but you do have

to complete catalog entries for each object, so make sure if you aren't physically with the piece, that a lot of

good information about the piece is available online. Your assignment will include the following elements:

For each object a catalog entry (information that would be in a catalog about the exhibit)—about 300-

500 words for each object.

A one page (long paragraph) introduction to your (hypothetical) exhibit these objects will be included

in. What's the title of the exhibition, what's the main theme, and what should visitors learn? Imagine

this as the text on the wall next to the entrance to the special exhibit.

Over 2-3 pages develop an exhibition and interpretive strategy for your objects. This part of your paper

should address some of the following issues:

What is the unifying theme that your selection and arrangement of these objects underscores?

How would you display these objects? Any special issues you need to consider? How will you

use the exhibition space/architecture?

Any of the pieces need conservation prior to going out on exhibit? What should the ideal

temperature, humidity, and light levels be to minimize damage to each object?

How would you help the audience understand the objects? What do you think is important for

the visitor to know? How would you communicate those things with the visitor (text, video,

audio, interactive)?

How does your exhibit help the community?

How does your exhibit fit into your (hypothetical) museum's mission?

What is the targetted group for your exhibit? Is it open to everyone? Does it reflect multiple

viewpoints?

What special events will you arrange as part of the exhibit? What groups will you reach out to?

How will your relate your theme to kids?
