International seminars
The Ecole du Louvre, in partnership with the University of Naples Frederico II, offers a seminar organised between Paris and Naples designed to study the relationships between archaeology and museology.
Introduction
The Ecole du Louvre has joined forces with the University of Naples Federico II to offer a seminar in French, English and Italian, bringing together pupils and students from both institutions. Organised between Paris and Naples, the seminar is based on the complementarity between specialist interventions and field visits including, in Naples, the National Archaeological Museum of Naples, the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegrean Fields, the Herculanense Museum, the sites of Pompeii, Velia, Paestum or Rione Terra; and in Paris, the National Archaeology Museum of St-Germain-en Laye, the Museum of Man, and the Museum of the National Library of France or Inrap.
The objective of the seminar is to study the relationships between archaeology and museology according to the most recent disciplinary and methodological orientations. The seminar thus offers participants the opportunity to reflect on archaeology as a cognitive process, analysis and interpretation, data storage, and digital management of archaeological documents. The seminar also addresses the issues of conservation, exhibition and mediation of archaeological sites and collections: protecting, exposing and understanding the challenges of archaeological sites and museums.
