About

The Asian Art in the Museum short course offered at SOAS University of London is an intensive 2-week immersion in object-based study of Asian art, run annually each July.

Overview

The Asian Art in the Museum short course offered at SOAS University of London is built around eight focused case studies, each consisting of a lecture, seminar, and related gallery or reserve collection visit. Case studies are drawn from the full range of regions and contexts covered in the SOAS-Alphawood Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Art: South Asia, China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, the Islamic world and the Buddhist world. 

Key facts

Each of the two weeks focuses on a single theme or topic that is central to art history and/or museum curation today. You will contextualise the objects encountered on this course within the diverse geographies, cultures and contexts from which the objects you study originate, and through which they have travelled to arrive in London today.

You will actively contribute to class discussions and informal presentations in museums and galleries.

This course provides an immersive introduction to the object-based study of Asian art. It is an ideal compliment to students studying any of our online distance learning modules who wish to acquire hands on experience of object based learning.

Programme Structure

  • Halfway through the course you will submit a short reflection on your experience of direct study of objects in museum galleries and stores. Feedback on this short assessment will help you to hone your final submission: either an analytical essay or a curatorial proposal.
