Resources
Harvard has abundant resources for the study of East Asian art. Local museum collections offer innumerable case studies for students. Specialists in the library and museums provide personalized assistance to enable students’ research goals. Many faculty in adjacent fields of East Asian studies embrace the study of visual and material objects in their research and work closely with our students. Specialists in other art history fields also work with students to develop comparative frameworks for their projects.
