Art History and Archaeology Department
Revision as of 21:20, 9 April 2008 by Reaganaut (talk | contribs) (Art History Department moved to Department of Art History and Archaeology)
Columbia's Art History and Archaeology Department is among the best in the country, if not the world. That is, if you want to do art history, and not archaeology, the latter being a sort of limp appendage of the otherwise great department.
The art historians, at least, benefit from the presence of Avery Library, one of the largest fine arts and architecture libraries in the world, and from proximity to New York City's museums.
Art history professors and graduate art history students also make up the teaching staff for Art Hum.
