Tutorials in the History of Art

statue cropped Oxford SCIO

OXFORD IS A VIBRANT CENTRE for the study of the history of art. The collection in the Ashmolean is particularly rich, ranging across many centuries and many cultures. There are in addition important collections at the Christ Church picture Gallery and the Bodleian and other libraries. The architecture of the city is also rich and membership of Wycliffe Hall allows SSO students to see inside many distinguishing buildings not normally open to the public. Access to London galleries is easy, and field trips show students other cities of architectural note.
