Museum Management and Curatorship is an intensive, fast-paced, immersion experience that provides applied training for careers in the museum, gallery or heritage sectors. Approximately 75% of classes are held at the Peterborough Museum & Archives.
Make history come alive, create meaningful stories by documenting and preserving our heritage for today and future generations.
Museum Managers and Curators don’t just preserve the relics, stories, and memorabilia of the past. They animate and interpret it, bringing history to life for people of all ages and stages. Put your university degree or college diploma to work in the service of a society that needs to know its past — in order to inform its future.
You will take this post-graduate certificate program during three consecutive semesters. The program is designed to meet the needs of students who want to acquire applied skills-based training for careers in the museum/gallery or heritage sectors. The courses have been developed in consultation and co-operation with museums and heritage organizations in order to offer a real, not simulated, work experience. Updated curriculum reflects practical applications of theory, beyond best practices rooted in ethical applications. The program is an optimal blend of independent study, in-class lectures, discussion, group work, applied projects, experience based and priceless hands-on learning.
The Peterborough Museum & Archives, a City-owned and operated institution, is the program’s main learning partner, and has designated spaces for Fleming students. This is where you will attend the majority of your lectures. As well, you will do practical training at this museum.

Students find it more convenient to look for accommodation near the museum or downtown, as opposed to on campus.
Classes are also held in the dedicated conservation laboratory and computer labs at the College’s Sutherland Campus.
By being immersed in museum work, you’ll experience the complexity and diversity of tasks/duties in small to medium-sized museums or galleries and acquire training to be an expert generalist. You will need to complete site work, research, and group projects and be prepared for off-campus teaching outside of “regular” day classes.
