The course makes extensive use of the University’s internationally-important museum collections and gives students an opportunity to reflect on an important aspect of museum practice. The exhibition will include an in-person exhibition in high-profile display cases in the Sir Duncan Rice Library café and an online exhibition. The course is assed by a personal reflective portfolio.
