About Bachelor of Art History and Curatorship

A single three year undergraduate degree offered by the ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences

The Bachelor of Art History and Curatorship bridges the gap between art history as an academic discipline and the practicalities of curating collections and exhibitions.

The degree locates the study of art in a range of historical, social, cultural and political contexts. You can focus on Australian, Asian and International art, both historical and contemporary, and participate in intensive art history courses taught overseas. You will be able to deepen your understanding of art practice through courses drawn from the School of Art & Design and be exposed to the museum environment through tutorials at national cultural institutions.

  • identify and critique the historical, social, cultural and political contexts of art;

  • understand the relationship between art history, art theory and curatorial practices;

  • evaluate and investigate the structures and practices of public cultural institutions through active engagement with museums and galleries; and

  • demonstrate practical knowledge of the processes associated with caring for collections and developing exhibitions.
