The OSK is a national organization, founded in 1995, which connects several important institutes in the field of art and architectural historical research in the Netherlands. These institutes comprise the departments of art history and architectural history of eight Dutch universities:
Delft University of Technology
Leiden University
Open Universiteit
Radboud University Nijmegen
University of Groningen
University of Amsterdam
Utrecht University
VU University of Amsterdam
They are joined by seven important sister institutes:
The New Institute, Rotterdam
Netherlands Institute for Art History (RKD), The Hague
Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (National Association for Cultural Heritage)
Mauritshuis, The Hague
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam
Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam
In cooperation with these institutes, the OSK aims to maintain and support a high level of specialized research in the field of art history by offering education and regularly organizing meetings for her members. The education program is directed towards research master students and PhD students working on a doctoral thesis. Tailored courses are offered each year to cater to the needs of both groups, in order to help them improve their skills as (future) researchers. Apart from the education program, six different sections are active within the OSK, who each focus on a specific field within art historical research: Architecture and Urban Planning; Fine Arts until 1850; Historic Interior and Decorative Arts; Italian Art studies; Modern and Contemporary Art; Workshop Practice and History of Art Production. Each section organizes its own meetings and events to advance innovation and collaboration in research.
