The University of Turku, with the support of the Turku University Foundation, has published an online gallery that brings together selected works of art from the collection on display across the University's campuses.
The research profile of the Department of Art History is characerized by an interest in visual art and visual culture ranging from naturalism through to modernism and contemporary art.
Art history can be studied both as a major and minor subject.
Art History addresses a broad spectrum of visual, material and spatial phenomena concerning historical and contemporary art and architecture, and visual culture ranging from canonised art to popular and vernacular imageries. The fields of scholarship not only comprise visual art, design and the built environment, but embrace analyses of institutions and the changing concepts of art as well.
