Museum Cultures with Curating MA

Birkbeck, University of London

Museums establish powerful narratives of progress and primitivism, knowledge and ignorance, inclusion and exclusion. Our MA Museum Cultures with Curating offers you the chance to combine study of the history and cultural significance of museums with opportunities for professional museum experience. Why choose this course? You will develop professional skills in curatorial practice, including how to design and pitch your own exhibition proposal and how to write text for diverse audiences. This course provides you with close personal tuition, mentoring and supervision from leading scholars in the field. You will have the opportunity to take a ten-week supervised work placement in a museum, gallery or archive. You will visit leading London museums and galleries and meet a range of curatorial experts to discuss their work.
