    Lina: MA Art History and Curating

    "The best thing about my course is how practical it is! As part of the Curatorial Practices module, my project group and I are working on our own museum exhibition; we have the opportunity to learn more about marketing strategy, budget planning, and the relationship between the curator and the artist. In addition, our department organised a free trip to London for us to talk to curators about their work in art galleries."
