How would online platforms change museum history?

1. Choose a topic related to art history and the museum world and let me know about your interest by April 4. (My topic is future of museums now that there is this pandemic. How would online platforms change museum history?)2. You may find some of the sections of the syllabus helpful – with all of the links I have provided there., but topics may include: museums and the ways in which they are changing at present, future of museums, future of galleries and exhibition spaces, trends in museum education, trends in exhibitions (from blockbuster shows to specialized ones drawn from permanent collections), “vanity” museums – or private museums of wealthy collectors, art museums and medical training, art museums/ galleries and healing, conservation controversies, digital humanities and audience engagement, accession and de-accession policies and controversies, trends in museum architecture, cultural property (restitution, who owns a work of art legally and why, international regulations), better integration of museums in school curricula, de-colonizing museums, etc.In writing the paper, follow these guidelines: Your essays should consist not merely of a summary of findings, but they should also include your own perspective on the topic. They can be organized in a variety of ways, but it is generally better if you begin by an introduction that defines the topic, followed by a presentation of the results of your research, and then by your own critical evaluation of what you have learned about the topic. Your essays should be about 4-5 pages long double space, or about 1000- 1200 words. This DOES NOT include the labels below images, notes, or bibliography. When you mention an institution for the first time, please identify it by its full name and location. When you mention a person, make sure you spell their names correctly, and that the spelling is consistent throughout the text. When you mention a work of art, provide a reference (fig. 2. 3. 4. etc.). Hyperlinks that take the reader to another site are allowed and encouraged. You can use footnotes or endnotes, but please use a program that will allow you to generate them automatically, rather than writing them manually! Use the Chicago Style Manual to format them appropriately. Other formats will not be accepted. https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) Bibliography should list the sources you used and should also be added at the very end of the paper, under a subheading. You should use at least 6-8 sources, and please use the databases available through UMD (most importantly, JSTOR). If you do not know how to use this database, let me know and I will address this at one of our meetings. Please observe rules of grammar and syntax. If you are not sure about some sentences, make them shorter. Avoid complicated words whose meanings you are not certain about. Read everything you write (at least) twice before submitting it. Points will be deducted for essays that I believe were not carefully proofread.**Please be mindful that a bibliography does not count as a page**Helpful links:https://cuberis.com/websites-for-museum-education/https://www.commonsense.org/education/top-picks/best-museum-apps-and-websites-for-studentshttps://www.nga.gov/education/learningresources.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/arts/design/art-museums-are-increasingly-adding-their-collections-online.html?_r=3&referrerhttps://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/30/arts/design/art-museums-are-increasingly-adding-their-collections-online.html?_r=3&referrerhttps://www.museumnext.com/article/is-the-future-of-museums-online/https://www.museumnext.com/article/how-museums-are-using-virtual-reality/https://museum-id.com/the-futuremuseum-project-what-will-museums-be-like-in-the-future-essay-collection/
