<p>I second Johns Hopkins. The Art history program at Hopkins was ranked #1 by Chronicle Higher education in faculty scholarly index and has also been ranked top 10 in 1995 NRC rankings. Faculties at Hopkins typically have joint appointments at the Baltimore Musuem of Art (immediately adjacent to the Homewood campus of JHU), and Walters Art Musuem (immediately adjacent to the Mt. Vernon Peabody campus of JHU). </p>
<p>Trust me, I’ve taken art history classes before at Harvard and Harvard has top notch art musuems like Arthur Sackler (great for Asian art), Fogg (closed for renovations for like 5 yrs), and Busch Reigner musuems… Hopkins art history nicely rivals that of Harvard and I enjoyed my experience in art history classes at both institutions… Professors at both universities were top notch :D</p>
