Wim Pijbes

Humanitas Visiting Professorship in History of Art (2015-2016)

The Humanitas Visiting Professorship in the History of Art at the University of Cambridge provides a dynamic opportunity for the study of art history and visual culture. It allows leading art historians and museums directors to share their multifaceted discipline with diverse audiences from inside and outside the field. The Visiting Professorship in History of Art has been made possible by the generous support of J.E. Safra and is hosted by St Clare College, Cambridge.

Wim Pijbes is the Director of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Wim Pijbes spoke on the subject of Old Masters Fit for the Future, both in a lecture and in separate conversations with Nick Cullinan (on national art) and Emilie Gordenker (on Old Masters).
