Background, orientation and purpose
The Courtauld Institute of Art, established in 1932, aims to advance the understanding of human
history through the study and enjoyment of the visual arts, and thereby to enhance its position as one
of the world’s leading centres of intellectual enquiry in the subject.
These aims will be achieved by:
- Providing an international centre and forum to undertake and exchange advanced research in the
history and conservation of art;
- Supporting our students at every level through specialised small-group teaching, exceptional
resources, and direct study of works of art using the great collections and buildings of London, the
United Kingdom and abroad;
- Providing through special exhibitions and the display of our world-class collections opportunities for
education, research enjoyment and training;
- Providing access to and stimulating interest in the visual arts for primary and secondary school
children and those engaged in life-long learning; and
- Providing sustainable growth for our libraries, archives and collections as resources for teaching and
research, and to reach new audiences in innovative ways.
