Outlines of museology: the form of the museum and the face of the collector
The module traces the diachronic development of the 'museum' institution (place of artistic reception) through a historical presentation of the various forms of collecting and their transition to the museum structure, underlining the specificity of the Italian museum closely connected to the landscape.- Reference texts

- The module traces the diachronic development of the 'museum' institution, a place of artistic reception, through a historical presentation of the various forms of collecting and their transition to the museum structure, underlining the concept of 'cultural heritage' and the specificity of the Italian museum closely connected to the landscape. Purchasing or collecting works of art are categories that are apparently bordering, but in reality are poles apart from the act of collecting, defined by specific peculiarities specific only to the collector, of whom the module intends to investigate the meaning of the term.
