Credit Points:	20
Unit Description:	In this unit we will study the history of travel in Europe and survey and examine important sites, monuments and art collections to be seen in Europe today. As well as studying the character of major collections and monuments, attention will be given to the history of how the collections have developed and how travellers in other ages have viewed them. Other questions addressed include: How have museums and art galleries changed over time? What are the most important sites and art galleries to be seen in Europe today? What is their future? Students will enhance their understanding of how landscapes, buildings, collections and artefacts in Europe are to be interpreted.
