Dear Students,
I have purposely waited to put this assignment online because I wanted to give you an opportunity to complete all of the other assignments. Therefore - this will be your last assignment for the semester.
Last week, we described five paintings which were stolen from a Paris Art Museum last year. Click here for an article, slideshow, and video about the crime.
We also read an article about museum security, and paid particular attention to the vocabulary regarding cultural heritage crimes.
The powerpoint presentation can be downloaded here, and the article we read in class can be found here.
For anyone who is interested, all of the information and statistics I presented in class can be found on the website of the Association for Research into crimes against Art (ARCA).
Students who are 'Non-frequentanti' should also read Unit 3 of the textbook, English for Cultural Heritage.
