Museums are the houses of culture and learning, but they are not available to everyone. This creates a detrimental paradox—if learning is a universal right, why shouldn’t museums be?
When thinking about this question, this edition of the Lyceum’s humanities highlight features a variety of exhibits taken from museums all over the world. Although we can’t recreate the direct experience of visiting these museums, our spotlights provide a quick thematic recap of what you should be seeing, learning, and knowing from them. Future articles will include interviews with museum workers, history students, digital exhibitions, and more!
