Learning outcomes
|
On this course, students are introduced to the development of domestic historical and art collections over a broad time spectrum, from their origins in the Middle Ages to the present. The history of important public and private collections in Europe and the United States is also briefly recalled. Attention is paid to collections in all social strata, from ruling families through aristocratic families and religious institutions to public collections of the 19th and 20th centuries. The thematic transformation of these collections is also traced, ranging from collections of family portraits to the exceptionally structured collections of the Baroque and modern eras, representing through a wide selection the development of individual artistic disciplines - painting, sculpture, graphic and applied arts, as well as the broader cultural and historical development of the respective countries and nations.
Course graduates gain knowledge of the development of museums and other collection-forming institutions in the Czech Republic. They are able to categorise types of museum and collection-forming institutions and can interpret their historical development.
