Museum and Museology is a 2-credit Skill Enhancement Course (SEC) under Delhi University's UGCF 2022, taught in 2025-26 as a 1 lecture, 0 tutorial, 1 practical (2 credits) (p.1 credit table). As per the official syllabus on academicaffairs.du.ac.in, the course is organised as two parts — Unit I Theory (15 hours) on definition/meaning, history of museums in India from colonial to post-independence including National Museum/Indian Museum/Salar Jung case studies and introduction to New Museology; and Unit II Practical (30 hours) on museum functions (collection, documentation, preventive conservation, exhibition) and types of museums. Practical requires a museum visit for 3-5 days (National Museum, Red Fort Archaeological Museum, National Crafts Museum, NGMA etc.) and a report on collection/exhibition techniques (p.2). As per SEC pattern, 15 hours theory + 30 hours practical with project; evaluation follows University guidelines (p.2). Students lose marks by writing textbook museum definitions without the field visit report; examiners check documentation style (manual/digital/photographic), conservation notes, and the case study of a specific museum visited. For revision, map each PYQ to its unit — middle units repeat most — and confirm your college's exact paper code before the exam, as SEC codes vary by theme (as of 12 Sept 2026).
The detailed guide above covers Units 1-4, exam pattern and preparation. When the precise IMP Q&A PDF is uploaded, it will appear above with an IMP Q tag.
