Our Museum and Heritage Studies research and teaching programs explore contemporary museum practice within global, national and local frameworks. We offer cutting-edge programs that challenge existing museum theory and practice and look to museums as dynamic, everchanging cultural institutions. Our research and teaching critically analyses the history, ethics, practice and theory of museums internationally.
