Museum as Medium Binder Repository

Student responsibilities & expectations 
  • Students need to keep up with excellent note taking skills in their Museum as Medium Binders.                This includes complete with notes from lecture, from our site-visits, student research, essay notes, etc, and will include all written responses and on-site take-aways, website materials, etc.
  • Binders will be collected for grading at Midterm and in the final week of classes.
  • It is the student’s responsibility to be prepared with all assignments in a thoughtful and fully engaged manner.  
  • Students need to be wary of time management concerns and restraints of the term.  
Site Visits Include
The Hubbard Collection at the Cazenovia Public Library 

Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, Cazenovia, NY

The Matilda Josyln Gage Foundation, Fayetteville, NY

The Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, NY

MOST Syracuse, NY

Cazenovia College’s Library’s Special Collections & Archives organized by Dr. Robert Greene*

It is my hope that each visit will give students first-hand information about the public sites, behind the scenes information provided by curators, gallery directors, and archivists of these regional institutions, and so much more.

Wunderkammers: museums that tell stories

All museums have a history to tell. They are more than "containers" of information Above:  Frontispiece depicting Ole Worm’s cabinet of curiosities, from Museum Wormianum, 1655.  Ole Worm was a Danish physician and natural historian. Engravings of his collection were published in a volume after his death.

For whom do we assemble collections and archive them?

For whom do we assemble collections?? Exhibition Catalogues: A Guide From  Words, Words, Words - Writing Exhibition Catalogues  Noosa Regional Gallery 24 November 2000 There are no set rules for the production or writing of exhibition catalogues.  Catalogues and the writing that goes into them perhaps offer the greatest artistic freedom.  The writing of a catalogue essay simply requires an accord between the writer/curator and the artist(s) / artifacts.  The type of catalogue produced will usually depend on the amount of funding the artist and gallery have, or the significance of the exhibition.
