I am searching a topic for a 600 level course on the enlightenment and wanted to do museums but thought, were there museums in the enlightenment?
hi! you might consider x-posting this to /r/MuseumPros. Meanwhile, not discouraging direct responses here, but to get you started, here are a few previous posts that reference museums of that era
How long have there been historical museums? - 1683 Ashmolean
When did the concept of a museum become a common thing? - Ashmolean, BM, Louvre
for additional context, here are some related posts with scattered references to earlier time periods
Thanks! That helps a lot.
