Great Museums and Galleries of Europe

Many important museums in Europe were not originally art museums: they were palaces, fortresses, and often private residences. This course will approach the history of art through the history of the museums. We will study the many ‘lives’ of art museums, and explore the histories and controversies surrounding their collections. The course will also explore the important masterpieces of each collection, in addition to some lesser-known treasures with exciting histories.
