History and Profiling of the Subject
Historical research regarding art has a long tradition in Halle and is based on the foundation of the Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings) in 1820. In 1903, a chair for middle and modern art history was established, with the collection and the institute maintaining close ties. In the GDR, the institute was separated from the Kupferstichkabinett, but was still able to stand its ground up to today. In Halle, the subject is offered in its entire range and includes medieval, early modern and modern art history, as well as architecture and photography.
