Discover the new website of research and documentation centre Illuminare

The new website of Illuminare – Centre for the Study of Medieval Art (KU Leuven) offers quick and easy access to essential information about the research, documentation, and exhibition projects of the centre.

Illuminare is a research and documentation centre, located at the University Library in Leuven. The focus on medieval and early modern art from the Low Countries in a European perspective is facilitated by both research and doctoral projects that are supported by an international network of research institutions, libraries, and museums. Illuminare conserves and catalogues illuminated manuscripts and carries out art technical research. It examines, through an interdisciplinary approach, the iconology of medieval art. It holds several research archives of renowned art historians, and organises national and international exhibitions.
