History
Art history and visual art were first taught at the University of British Columbia in 1949 when noted Canadian painter B.C. Binning was appointed to the faculty of the newly formed School of Architecture. The then-named Department of Fine Arts was established in 1958 as an independent department within the Faculty of Arts. In 2001, the department changed its name to the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory.
