If you have ever wanted to A) study art history or B) visit London, we have got the perfect combination for you!

London’s prestigious Courtauld Institute of Art is currently celebrating its 75th year. Located in the Somerset House, the gallery is one of the richest in the city, holding some odd 600 years of art history within its walls.

Courtauld is offering a one of a kind experience that most art history students would only dream of. From July 14 through August 8, 2008, they are hosting one week short courses that cover medieval through contemporary art. The best part is that after learning about a Manet, Monet, Van Gogh, Rodin, Degas, Rubens, Rembrandt or Michelangelo, you can simply walk down the halls of the Somerset House and see them with your own eyes. Talk about a once in a lifetime opportunity!

After your educational pursuits are done, you can walk out the door of Courtauld right into the center of London.

There are also some wonderful hotels in the heart of the city, close enough to stroll to your daily classes at Courtauld.
