National Gallery, London
The collaborative research partnership between the History of Art Department at the University of York and the National Gallery in London was first established in 2010 and renewed in 2015.
We have had a most fruitful and intellectually stimulating collaboration over the last six years, resulting in joint research projects, exhibitions, a new section of the National Gallery website, workshops and conferences, annual lectures, and gallery visits led by York staff and National Gallery curators. Our partnership focuses on the Gallery’s main research strands, as well as special topics of mutual interest.
Our annual programme includes:
- a National Gallery/York lecture or research seminar, with scholars from one institution speaking at the other;
- a jointly organised National Gallery/York symposium or workshop on mutually agreed topics;
- art historians from York assisting in the development of National Gallery exhibitions and research programmes;
- behind-the-scenes access to curators for History of Art Department students.
