The School of Art History and World Art Studies is based in Norman Foster's world-famous Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, set next to woodland at the edge of the University of East Anglia campus. The School's location means that our students work in unrivalled proximity to major, internationally-renowned works of art, by artists such as Francis Bacon, Edgar Degas, Jacob Epstein, Henry Moore and Pablo Picasso.
The school is a member of the Sainsbury Institute for Art (SIfA). Find SIfA on 
Our students are able to study a wider range of artistic cultures, periods and forms than in any other art history department in the UK. The School is particularly renowned for its broad approach to art, encompassing ancient, medieval, Renaissance, modern and contemporary European art, American art, African art, Asian art and Pacific art. Staff, students and researchers in the School are interested in the history of art, as well as archaeology, anthropology, cultural heritage, and museum studies.
