Art History Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even before humans developed writing systems, we expressed our ideas, observations, emotions and experiences through art. Major in art history at Mary Washington and you\u2019ll access the rich resources of Washington, Richmond and New York while exploring the world\u2019s artworks of antiquity to the modern day. You may spend a semester abroad to deepen your understanding as you prepare yourself for a life of empathy, observation, critical thinking and analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
