TOPICS: INTRO TO GLOBAL ART THROUGH PARIS MUSEUMS in Spring 2025 (AH1091B)

This course uses the unsurpassed richness of the museums of Paris as lenses through which to chart a global history of art. We will closely examine works of art from a variety of cultural contexts outside Europe and the Anglophone world, paying particular attention to their social, historical, and religious contexts. We will also look critically at museums highlighting their colonial legacies and their role in shaping art historical narratives.
