Bookish Gifts for Art History Nerds

Although it’s been almost ten years, I’ll never forget the impact taking AP Art History had on me as a high school student. I’d always been a reader and enjoyed learning about the classics, but I didn’t know much about art. I took the class on a whim, but my teacher showed me how visual art and writing were more alike than I’d thought. Both were artists’ attempts to explore the complexities of life and the universe, just in different mediums. Maybe that’s why so many readers I know are also avid art history buffs!

Whether shopping for yourself or the art history nerd you love, you’ll find plenty of inspiration here. Journals, bookscapes, reading nook decor, crafting ideas, and more — all perfect for readers who love art.
