Based on all of the innovations of early modern collectors, states organized national museums or sponsored the institutionalization of prominent private collections, which we examine through a number of case studies supported by visits to area museums. This course cannot be used to fulfill a 200-level art history requirement for the art major. Fall semester. Department.
