About the Institute

Welcome to the Australian Institute of Art History.

The AIAH is focused on art history, material culture, and the visual arts. We define art in the widest sense, from prehistoric sculpture to contemporary AI-generated objects and images.

Our vision is to be the bridge between researchers, museums, and heritage bodies at the University, in our communities, and across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. We want to foster ground-breaking research and public engagement across all areas of art history and the visual arts.

Support our students and researchers today! If you are interested in donating, please visit this page.
