The contemporary museum is the result of a process started at the origins of our civilization with the first forms of collecting. Between past and present, between private and public, the museum is a dynamic and constantly evolving organism. Today, for example, the museum has gone from being an architectural container to a cultural content in itself, fulfilling a very articulated function brought into focus by competent bodies such as, for example, ICOM (International Council of Museums). What are the founding aspects of the museum institution? what is its typological evolution in European historical-artistic culture? The two questions will be placed at the center of the lessons of the course, in order to allow male and female students to familiarize themselves with some historical, cultural and institutional aspects of the broad sector of Conservation and management of cultural heritage in Italy.
