This module is designed around a simple question: how is the museum a different environment for historical and interpretative work compared with a university or a library? It opens access to the Science Museum鈥檚 galleries, reserve collections, and curators to help students learn the ways history of science and technology are preserved, researched, and displayed in a national museum. The module includes practical engagement with objects and collections in Science Museum facilities. It also includes general museological questions about how to interpret objects in HPS and STS. The module also examines how different kinds of objects feature in museum鈥檚 work, from acquisition and conservation to display.
