Classes meet in the galleries, storerooms, and conservation laboratories of the museum with teams of curators and conservators who examine and discuss works of art from the museum's collections. Assignments include the preparation of catalogue entries and written acquisition proposals which are presented orally at the end of the course to curatorial and conservation staff of the museum, including the director. Objects recommended by students are considered for acquisition by the museum. Open to all students, the course is mandatory for those who intend to become candidates for the Curatorial Studies Certificate. This course may be taken in fulfillment of the conservation requirement for art historians.
Enrollment is limited.
