The difference is:

1. Taught Masters is (usually) a 1 year full-time degree course, that upon graduating means you are awarded an MA or MSc, but with no direct route onto a PhD programme (so you would need to go the admissions process for this separately).

2. A Taught Research degree can be 1 or 2 years, and on successful completion (with an MRes) is a direct route onto a PhD.

I must say that it sounds an interesting course! I did Archaeology & History (and modules on musuems and their representation) and I loved it!
