MS 213: Museum Artifacts: How they were made and how they deteriorate

MS 213: Museum Artifacts: How they were made and how they deteriorate 

March 3 to April 18, 2025   

Instructor: Helen Alten

Description:

Every museum object is unique, but items made of similar materials share characteristics. Museum Artifacts gives participants an understanding of the materials and processes used to make objects – knowledge that better prepares them to decide how to care for their collections. Participants study two objects that represent all materials found in our museums. Through an in-depth analysis of their components, participants explore all possible objects found in any museum.
