The Department of Art History and Art Conservation is the place at Queen’s to explore and understand our visual world, past or present. Home to a diverse array of distinguished scholars in the fields of global arts, architecture, museum, and material studies, we are a dynamic community of faculty, students, and staff engaging in creative and socially-relevant teaching and research. Whether it’s in an intimate seminar room or at the Venice Biennale, our students gain valuable learning experiences preparing them to be innovative thinkers and leaders in the arts and cultural sector - and beyond.
The Department is comprised of three related programs and offers degrees in the following areas: an Undergraduate Program in Art History (BA), a Graduate Program in Art History (MA/PhD), and a Graduate Program in Art Conservation (MAC).
