The Department of Art History and Art Conservation is the place at Queen’s to explore and understand our visual world--past, present, and future. With a diverse array of distinguished scholars and artists in global arts, architecture, museum studies, and material culture, we are a vibrant and inclusive community committed to fostering innovative, rigorous, and socially-engaged learning, creativity, and research.
Our students are immersed in transformative experiences that extend beyond the classroom, whether they're participating in intimate seminars, engaging with cutting-edge research technology, or unique internship opportunities like our course at the Venice Biennale. Through our academic programs and courses in Art History, Visual Arts, and Art Conservation - including Canada's only graduate program in Art Conservation - we prepare the next generation of leaders to shape the future of the arts and cultural sector, and beyond.
