Musea en collecties zijn volop in beweging. De taken van de conservator, de educatieve dienst en het management lopen steeds vaker door elkaar. Daarnaast hebben de toenemende globalisering en veranderende geo-politieke verhoudingen een grote impact op de status van cultureel erfgoed, inclusief de politieke, juridische en museologische aspecten.
In de specialisatie Museums and Collections maak je kennis met het brede spectrum van ethische, politieke en praktische dilemma’s die van invloed zijn op musea. Bovendien word je uitgedaagd om creatief na te denken over duurzame en breed gedragen oplossingen.
