Outline |
|
We will learn the museum law, the present situation of the curator system, and a history and social role of contemporary museums. Additionally, we will study the museum systems and the job of a curator through the understanding of the direction which a museum aspire to, the activities of curators, and the visit to the Oyama municipal museum. In these lectures, we will use reference materials, Powerpoint presentations and simple examinations to obtain deep insight.

Objectives |
|
In the "Museology 1" we will learn the role of museums in our society and attain elementary knowledge in regard to acquiring a license as a curator. A museum generally tends to be considered just as a display hall. However, the fact is that it performs functions such as collection of data, preservation, research and diffusion of education. Moreover, it has recently been expected to fill the role of the "core" for developing local society by utilization of local cultural and natural resources. This course will not only turn a student into a professional, but will also turn him/her into a talented person who actively attends museum activities as one of the conscientious citizens creating a museum based on their community.

Grading Policy |
|
I will attend class every time. Students who do not meet the overall 2/3 attendance are not allowed to take the regular exam. Grades should be evaluated comprehensively on the number of students attendance, the results of small reports and quizzes conducted during class, and the results of regular exams. In principle, there will not be any retest.

Textbook and Reference |
|
Although, there is no dedicated study materials, I will recommend reading the following textbooks and museum related books in order to obtain comprehensive knowledge about the museum, as I will promote classes mainly on resume.

Requirements (Assignments) |
|
In order to understand the museums, it is important to actually experience them by yourself. Actively visit Museum in Tochigi prefecture and outside the prefecture (including art museums, aquariums, local museums, zoos etc.) and learn more about the activities other than exhibitions that are being held at museums. It is also important that you observe critical criticism, such as whether the materials are displayed for easy viewing or whether the display caption is appropriate.
From day to day, you will read articles related to museums (including art museums, aquariums, local museums, zoos etc.) in newspapers, magazines, on the web etc. and, if possible, students are recommended in creating scrapbooks.
