DECORATIVE ARTS SEMINAR IN FRANCE the period room as curatorial practice graduate (July 7 25) PGHT 5732 Section A In this three-week intensive, students consider the origins and critical issues surrounding the period room and curatorial practice. The course begins with the relationship of the period room to the Panorama, the diorama of the Natural History Museum, and the nationalistic displays of the World s Fairs. Special attention is given to the history of the period room in French museums and historic houses. The period room raises many significant issues about museum display, but no less important are those concerning methodologies of social history and the history of decorative arts. Topics under consideration include the question of authenticity, the presence or invisibility of the curator, the notion of a period style, and the disjunction between the chronological moment of production and the moment of presentation. Each student chooses a period room from the mezzanine at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs or another significant interior from a museum or historic house in Paris such as the Musée Nissim de Camondo, the Musée Jacquemart-André, or the Musée and Château de Rueil Malmaison as a case study to critique. The course brings this discussion to the present and takes up the question of whether a modern period room can even exist. Although students may have the 30 Register at
