HART 425 Art & History at the Museum

Fall 2026-2027 · 3 SU credits · 6 ECTS · Undergraduate

Not in the Spring 2026-2027 schedule — this is the most recent term it ran.

Art and History at the Museum is an art history course designed to facilitate the research of specific objects, exhibitions and/or archival material housed in museums, and specifically the Sakıp Sabancı Museum in Istanbul. While its main focus is on provenance research and object histories within the museum’s permanent collections, histories of temporary museum exhibitions and/or creating historical context as exhibition content are also within the scope of the course which aims to equip students with an understanding of the functioning of a museum as an educational tool of art historical knowledge. The course is open to all students who are willing to engage in the “detective work” that is necessary to trace the provenance of objects in museum inventories, and have an interest in discussions around art, material culture, museums, exhibitions, art history as a discipline, curatorial practice and theory, and the ways in which historical narratives are constructed through the care, management and presentation of artistic and cultural objects.
