BA (Hons) History of Art with Gallery and Museum Studies with a Year Abroad

What roles do galleries and museums play in today’s society? How have they shaped our understanding of art? On this course you’ll explore these and many more questions through first-hand experience of a major art gallery and museum. You’ll discover the history of art across time and cultures and explore the relationship between culture and society from the past to the present, and into the future. Based in the world-famous Sainsbury Centre, you’ll become part of a unique community. We’re the only Art History Department in the UK located within a world-renowned art museum. You’ll explore the politics and practises of display across diverse collections and exhibitions. This includes contemporary art galleries, natural history collections, historic houses, and heritage sites. And you’ll consider the work of curators, conservators, and educators, including how they engage broad audiences. These topics are pivotal to careers in museums, galleries, and the heritage sector.
