I found the 'Museum Operations and Facilities Management' course to be a great introduction to the field. As someone from a non-museum background, I was looking to gain a broad understanding of the industry and its operations. The course provided a good overview of the key concepts and principles, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical applications. One of the most valuable takeaways for me was the importance of visitor experience and how to design engaging exhibits. The course materials were relevant and well-structured, and the discussions with my peers were insightful. While I felt that some topics could have been explored in more depth, overall I'm satisfied with my learning experience and would recommend this course to others looking to break into the museum sector.
