Art History
The study of works of art: their production and reception, the museums and other institutions that support them, their role in society, the meanings and values they carry, from the Renaissance to contemporary art
Visual Culture
The study of visual media in different cultural contexts: the role played by visual objects and visually-orientated activities, from elite to popular culture and from antiquity to today’s media-saturated world
