About

Interpretations is a core module for MA Art Gallery and Museum Studies, MA Arts Management and Heritage Studies and MA Curating Science based on the School of Fine Art, History Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds. Using an action learning approach, students are supported to learn about object research, interpretive practice, text writing, visual communication and marketing though developing online exhibtions.

Since 2020 we have moved online using first Omeka and now WordPress to create platforms for students to develop the digital displays. Students work with collections made available from Smithsonian Institution, The Art Institute of Chicago, Rijksmuseum, Science Musuem Group, Wellcome Collection, York Museums Trust, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Yale Centre for British Art, Getty and Biodiversity Heritage Library. You can explore on this website the 2021 and 2022 clutch of exhibitions.
