Why study museums in Manchester?
In 2000, the Art Gallery and Museum Studies (AGMS) MA curriculum was thoroughly revised, updated and re-launched, and since then, the programme has gone from strength to strength. At the same time, many new museums have opened in and around the city, and others have been redeveloped and expanded, providing a wonderful resource for teaching and research. AGMS students examine diverse issues related to museum theory and practice, visit numerous museums, galleries and cultural organisations, and have many opportunities to discuss ideas and issues with both professionals and academics in the field.
