University of Maryland Art History and Archaeology Home
The Department of Art History and Archaeology is a community of students and scholars that focuses on visual, material and textual expressions as a means to understand culture. We critically engage with the reality of living in a world of images, working across a wide range of histories, perspectives and values. Our students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels learn from internationally recognized faculty experts in the field and engage with leading D.C. area arts institutions. Moreover, all students and faculty benefit from innovative technology and digital approaches through the Michelle Smith Collaboratory for Visual Culture.
