The Institute of Art History was formed in 1968 as a scientific unit within the University with the intention to meticulously analyze various ideas, matters and directions in Serbian Art History, and its relationship towards Eastern and Western European Art History. The Institute not only collects and files scientific documentation but promotes knowledge and also encourages young scientists and research associates to develop relations with other domestic and foreign Art History institutes.

The Institute is more than proud to acknowledge that for little over 40 years of its existence has accomplished numerous research projects published in over hundred of articles and studies, and in over twenty books, which is of major impact and significance for the domestic History of Art.

The Director of the Institute of Art History is Miodrag Marković, Associate Professor.
