The Courtauld
Education
The Courtauld works to advance how we see and understand the visual arts, as an internationally-renowned centre for the teaching, research of art history and a major public gallery. Founded in the 1930s, the organisation has been at the forefront of developing the study of art ever since. The Courtauld cares for one of the greatest art collections in the UK, displayed at The Courtauld Gallery in Somerset House, central London. Academically, The Courtauld faculty is the largest community of art historians and conservators in the UK, and offers a range of degree programmes in the History of Art, curating and the conservation of easel and wall paintings. The Courtauld Gallery is currently closed and will reopen in 2021 – the first stage an ambitious transformation programme that will make The Courtauld’s world-class artworks, research and teaching accessible to even more people.
