At Edinburgh History of Art, our vision is to be as open, inclusive, and enquiring as we can be. We value intellectual curiosity and determination to make the world a better place by exploring, questioning, and celebrating the artistic and material creations of people from the widest possible range of places, periods, and perspectives. Whether in the past, present, or future, we see art as an insight into some of humanity’s best achievements and critique of and antidote to its worst failings.
