Learning outcomes
|
In this course, students will be introduced to the development of domestic historical and art collections over a broad time spectrum from its origins in the Middle Ages to the present. The history of major public and private collections in Europe and the United States will also be briefly recalled. Attention will be given to collections in all social strata, from royal families to aristocratic families and ecclesiastical institutions to 19th and 20th century public collections. The thematic transformation of these collections will also be traced, ranging from collections of family portraits to the extraordinarily articulated collections of the Baroque and modern eras, representing in a wide selection the development of both individual artistic disciplines ? painting, sculpture, graphic and applied arts, as well as the broader cultural and historical development of the respective countries and peoples.
Graduates of the course will gain knowledge of the development of museums and other collection-forming institutions in the Czech Republic. The student is able to categorize the types of museum and collection institutions and is able to interpret their historical development.
