About the Department
Art History at St. Thomas emphasizes contextual and global approaches to art, looking at art as the visual expression of cultures and individuals from around the world. The foundation of our programs are research, methodology, and presentation, including exhibitions. We seek to bring art into the classroom and to integrate museums and exhibitions into our teaching, including hands-on experience for majors and graduate students.
Our programs include both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Art History as well as two museum and exhibition programs: the University Collections and Exhibitions, and the American Museum of Asmat Art at the University of St. Thomas.
