Maritime-focused museums in the 21st century are facing challenges that and very different from art-, science- or military history-focused museums in fundamental ways. This survey course introduces students to the history of maritime museums and especially to the unique challenges facing this specific type of museum, as well as some creative solutions to the predicaments that can develop when dealing with ships, water and preservation and exhibition of maritime artifacts. This course covers the debates and the philosophical dilemmas unique to maritime-focused museums in the 21st century. Students will be involved in actual case studies and work with museum staff on ongoing problems facing American maritime museums today.
