Kennedy Museum of Art

Ohio University College of Fine Arts’ Kennedy Museum of Art announces its newest exhibition, Perceive with Caution: Merging Concepts VII, a show developed, curated, designed, and installed by students in the museum’s Museum Studies Certificate Program. Viewers are offered the opportunity to reflect on their own understanding about what it means to be human as they interact with objects carefully crafted by the hands of artists or collected and preserved from the natural world that offer us a varied perspective on our own lives. The collection demonstrates that the ways in which we interpret and portray the world reflect our understanding of the human condition. 

The Museum Studies Certificate Program is a transdisciplinary academic program offered by the School of Art + Design and is open to all Ohio University undergraduate and graduate students. Course content is developed and taught by Kennedy Museum of Art staff. Students earning a certificate gain the ability to design professional museum displays; create appropriate, educational, interpretive materials for museum visitors; learn how to properly handle and display objects, artifacts and other museum holdings; and articulate how museums collect, preserve, interpret and exhibit items.
