What does KLU stand for?

KLU stands for KLU Art History Courses; we are a Dutch provider of online art history courses for adults.
The name KLU dates back to the organisation’s early years, when its full name was Kunsthistorische Leergangen Utrecht. That name no longer did justice to what we do, and since then we have simply referred to ourselves as KLU. Our mission remains unchanged: to make art history accessible to anyone with an interest in art and culture, with no prior knowledge required.

Andere veelgestelde vragen over KLU

How do I know the best order in which to take the courses?

If you’re completely new to art history, it’s best to start with Introduction to Art History or one of the introductory courses. You will then find a section on each course page listing recommended follow-up courses. You can scroll straight down to it, or click on ‘Follow-up courses’ in the menu at the top of the page.

See also the full Course catalogue, where you can filter by tutor, start date and price.

What’s included in a course?

With every KLU course, you’ll receive lessons lasting an average of two hours, which you can also watch again within fourteen days of the course ending.

In addition, after each lesson you will receive a handout containing a summary and the images covered. You can ask the tutor questions via the private online community or by email, and the tutor will answer them after the lesson.

Can I give a course as a gift?

Absolutely. You can give an art history course as a gift. You can order a gift voucher via klu.nl/gift-voucher or have the recipient register straight away using their details and complete the payment process themselves. If you’d like to discuss this first, please get in touch via klu.nl/contact and please specify which course you are referring to.
