The History of Art Department at UCL is one of the most dynamic centres for the study of art history and visual cultures in the world. We are committed to a wide range of critical inquiry that cuts across boundaries of geography, chronology and discipline. In our programmes, at all levels, we stress theoretical rigour and close attention to the materiality of the object.
The Cabinet of Obsolete Media is an academic resource – a collection of fascinating historical devices that represent the development of technologies of the image and time-based media.
