The National Gallery, London

The Collaborative Research Partnership between the Department of History of Art at the University of York and the National Gallery, London, was first established in 2010. This fruitful and intellectually stimulating relationship has resulted 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; a jointly organised National Gallery/York symposium or workshop; 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.
