Museums and heritage organisations bring material worlds into existence. They shape ideas and interpretations through cultures of preservation and display. They lead debates on challenging political, social, and ethical concerns.

We’re the only Art History Department in the UK located within a world-renowned art museum.

You’ll use the Sainsbury Centre's collection of world art to address big issues. Learning from world-leading experts, you’ll gain insights into art, historical, and museum studies. You’ll consider global and local perspectives to art, history, culture, communication, and identity.
