课程简介（中英文）：

这门课程将通过探索欧美著名博物馆，以及博物馆馆藏珍贵文物背后的故事来帮助我们理解西方文化。我们将探讨博物馆在社会中不断变化的作用，从研究到教育机构、社区平台和个人健康和福祉的资源。在这个过程中，我们将学会以一种新的方式参观世界各地的博物馆，并学会如何将博物馆作为一个自我提升和重新连接人类自我价值部分的地方。

This mini-course surveys museums in Europe and North America and the stories they tell with their most famous national treasures as well as some lesser-known keys to understanding western culture. We'll look at the evolving role of museums in society, from research to educational institutions, community platforms, and resources for individual health and well-being. Along the way, we'll discover new ways to enjoy museums everywhere and use them as places to recharge and reconnect with what is most rewarding about being human.
