The Cultural Relics and Museums major at Nanjing Normal University is an undergraduate program focused on the study, preservation, and management of cultural heritage and museum collections. The curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with practical training in areas such as cultural relics protection, museology, conservation techniques, collection management, exhibition design, and cultural heritage law and ethics. Students learn how to evaluate, document, and conserve historical artifacts, as well as how to curate and present museum exhibits that engage diverse audiences. Coursework emphasizes interdisciplinary perspectives, drawing on history, archaeology, art history, and cultural studies, while hands-on experiences—such as lab work, field study, and internships—help students apply skills in real-world heritage settings. Graduates are prepared for careers in museums, cultural institutions, heritage conservation agencies, archives, and other roles that support the safeguarding, interpretation, and public presentation of cultural treasures.
