ARCN 101 SC - Introduction to Art Conservation and Cultural Sustainability


This course provides an overview of the interdisciplinary fields of art conservation and cultural sustainability. The investigation, treatment and management of art collections, archaeology, archives, and architecture face diverse challenges ranging from climate change and globalization, to air pollution, art crime, and tourism. What physical legacy of our culture do we want to pass on to the future? How can we prolong the lifespan of a cherished object? How do we provide access to cultural heritage and for its ongoing conservation, interpretation, research and management? What tangible or intangible elements of culture should we work to sustain and why?
