HIST 3910 Museums and Society
Berlin, Germany (spring 2019)
Professor Amy Woodson-Boulton’s spring 2019 course on the history and theory of museums in Europe (from c. 1750) included a Spring Break trip to Berlin, where students investigated museums and historic preservation in place, considering how museums have engaged with and helped to define art, ethnography, the natural sciences, and history (including the Holocaust). Upon their return to Los Angeles, students curated their own pop-up exhibition (see Public History Projects page for more information).
