Art and art history
Journey through art’s greatest stories and discover your own.
Journey across centuries and continents through courses that uncover Spain’s artistic splendour, restore forgotten women to the story of art, and explore the enduring magnetism of myths, gods, and heroes. Trace Liverpool’s turbulent history of conflict, follow the modernist energies shaping Cornwall’s abstract art, and rediscover John Maler Collier — once the most discussed painter in England. Each course invites you to see the past anew, revealing the drama, brilliance, and bold reinventions that define the world of art.
