Christie’s Education is unique—the only academic institution wholly-owned by an auction house.

We offer programs that emphasize the importance of direct contact with original works of art, interaction with art world professionals and real-time analysis of the art market in order to enhance your exploration of the art wold. 

Our central location in the Rockefeller Center provides privileged access to Christie’s Auction House and behind-the-scenes insight into the commercial realities of the world’s leading art business. You will have access to Christie’s specialists, object-handling sessions and presale auction viewings.
