The Department of Art History of the University of Ljubljana offers single major and double major programmes of study, which involve Art History as a major subject, plus Art History education in combination with another subject within the Faculty of Arts that is closely connected to Art History.

The Department of Art History is divided into three chairs: the Chair of Slovene Art and Art of other South Slavic Peoples; the Chair of European Art; the Chair of Conservation and Museology.



Background

Art history studies at the Faculty of Arts were already planned at the beginning of preparations for the establishment of the University of Ljubljana at the end of World War I, in 1919. The establishment of this study was entrusted to one of the fathers of Art History in Slovenia, Izidor Cankar. Lectures were launched in summer semester of 1920. After a small initial number of regular students, there courses became more and more popular especially after the World War II. Students travelled through Slovenia and Yugoslavia, and even got involved in some work campaigns on historical buildings. France Stele led the fieldwork seminar until 1957, when he retired and left his place to Stane Mikuž. Mikuž initiated first major extension of the section, and in the following decades the studies were divided in two chairs, the first covering the field of European art history, the second Slovenian and Yugoslav art history.

The renewal of the program itself was started already in the nineties, which provided a greater choice of seminars. The latest set of changes is linked to the Bologna reform, with the scheme 3+2 and term lectures. The renewed program began to be implemented in 2008/2009.

The Department of Art History also regularly carries out a programme of courses/lectures for primary and secondary school teachers of Art History.


Research programmes

The teaching staff organise and implement various research projects in the fields of Art History, and cooperate in some interdisciplinary programmes and projects organised by the Science Research Institute of the Faculty of Arts and by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology.

International cooperation

Within Slovenia and abroad, strong and regular cooperation has been established with numerous museums, galleries, scientific institutes and others on different levels. Individual teachers are involved in international research/scientific associations and projects. Members of the department have also organised a number of international congresses, conferences, and other events.
