What Will I Study?
Museum Studies is an exciting and active minor. You’ll learn by doing: visiting museums and historic sites during a study abroad experience, joining an archeological dig, curating an exhibition at LC’s Daura Gallery, or gaining real-life knowledge at the Ramsey-Freer Herbarium and Historic Sandusky.
What Kinds of Museums Are There?
There are museums that collect and exhibit everything – museums for art, history, historic buildings, natural history, science and technology. There are sports halls-of-fame, aquariums, botanical gardens, and zoos. There are even mustard museums and circus museums. You’ll find a museum for you!
