GW Corcoran Smithsonian MA Program in Decorative Arts & Design History

GW Corcoran Smithsonian MA Program in Decorative Arts & Design History MA Program in Decorative Arts and Design History Smithsonian Institution. Gift of Robert Livingstone in memory of Mrs. Theodore Strong.

A comprehensive grounding of European and American decorative arts and design history complemented with a consideration of non-Western art. In addition to theoretical and contextual studies, academic skills are built through courses that focus on furniture, textiles, interiors, design, ceramics, glass, costume, craft, and metalwork. Our students move on to become curators, historians, academicians

, conservators, and specialists in the field of decorative arts. IG:
