Rome is home to over 2000 years of human history and culture.

Through first-hand observation, research, and reflection, students analyze differing strategies used to engage visitors from diverse backgrounds with the cultural heritage of Rome. These include approaches to curatorial direction, exhibition design and production, interpretative methodologies, use of technology, and marketing and communication strategies.

Site visits include museums and cultural sites such as the Roman Forum, Colosseum and Palatine Hill; the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel; Borghese Gallery; Museum of Contemporary Art; Keats-Shelley Memorial House and Cinecitta film studio; as well as a day trip to Pompeii.
