About the Institute of Fine Arts and Theory of Art Art education has been an integral part of the two-and-a-half-century high education of Eger for more than seventy years. The Department of Drawing founded in 1948, was defined by teacher training until the beginning of the 1990s. From 1993, the training was expanded to include the major Drawing-Visual Communication. The Institute of Visual Arts, established in 2016, consisted of four departments: the Department of Fine Arts, the Department of Media and Design, the Department of Cinematography and Communication, and finally, the Department of Visual Education and Art Theory. From August 1. 2021, the institution has been maintained by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Eger and the institution was renamed Eszterházy Károly Catholic University. In parallel with this event, the Institute of Visual Arts was transformed into three separate institutes, the Institute of Fine Arts and Theory of Art, the Institute of Cinematography and Communication, and the Institute of Media and Design.
