Application deadline: December 1.

The doctor of philosophy in the Art History program normally requires at least three years of course work and two years of dissertation research. Applicants may be admitted directly into the program after receiving the BA Other applicants may already hold an MA in art history or the equivalent from USC or another ​accredited school.

Every student will be subject to departmental screening procedures, which involve periodic review by the art history graduate committee. The committee may recommend at any time, after a written warning, based on a student’s grades, evaluation of instructors or rate of progress toward the degree, that a student be dropped from the program. Such recommendations will become effective at the end of the semester during which the recommendation is made.

Course Requirements

Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy units total 60. Up to 32 master of arts units from USC or 16 from other institutions may be transferred with approval of the faculty. Transfer work applicable to the PhD program must have been completed within 10 years of the date of application. AHIS 500   , or equivalent, is required of all graduate students. Four units are for work on the ​dissertation. (Two units of dissertation credit each semester — including summer — for a minimum registration period of two semesters.)

Foreign Language Requirements

All candidates must pass reading proficiency examinations in a minimum of two languages, normally French and German or the requisite languages in Asian art. Substitutions and/or additions may be made with faculty recommendation and approval of the chair of the Art History Department when appropriate to the student’s program. Additional foreign language beyond the minimum may be required depending on the student’s program of study. All language requirements must be completed prior to taking the qualifying exam.

Screening Examinations

Passing the following procedures are prerequisite to continuation in the doctoral program, as stated in the departmental graduate guidelines. Before the student has completed 24 units, the first-year examination must be passed. Before the student has completed 48 units, the second-year review must be passed.

Qualifying Examination

At the end of the second year, the student will nominate a five-member qualifying exam committee for the qualifying examination that includes one member from outside the Department of Art History. The student is expected to pass the qualifying examination in a major field and satisfy the requirements for the minor and outside fields by the end of the third year. Forms for permission to take the qualifying examination must be submitted at least 60 days before the date of the scheduled examination. The written portion of the examination will be followed by an oral examination. The oral examination will be given to discuss in greater depth the student’s knowledge of the dissertation proposal; the oral lasts approximately two hours. After passing the qualifying examination, the student will be admitted to candidacy for the PhD.

Dissertation

Following the completion of the qualifying exam, the qualifying exam committee will be reduced to three members, including one member from outside the department, who will guide and finally approve the dissertation.

PhD Art History

The doctoral program in the History of Art at Stanford is relatively small, affording graduate students the opportunity to work intensively with individual members of the faculty.

Program Overview

The Doctor of Philosophy degree is taken in a particular field, including Film & Media Studies, supported by a strong background in the general history of art. Doctoral candidates also undertake collateral studies in other graduate departments, or in one of the University's interdisciplinary programs. The Department of Art & Art History offers M.A. and Ph.D. degrees, although the Master of Arts in Art History is only available to doctoral students in Art and Art History, as a step toward fulfilling requirements for the Ph.D. The Department does not admit students who wish to work only toward the M.A. degree. 

Size of the Program

The Department admits approximately 4 to 7 students each year to the Ph.D. program. 

Time to Completion

The Ph.D. student's formal progress to degree is reviewed at the end of the second year (first year for those entering with an M.A.). By the end of the third year, a dissertation topic should be selected and a proposal written. After all course requirements are met and the proposal is approved, the student begins research and writing of the dissertation. The dissertation must be completed within five years from the date of the student's admission to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree.

Financial Aid

Art History Ph.D. students normally receive a financial support package covering five years of graduate study.  Funding sources include departmental fellowships, teaching assistantships and research assistantships. Additional funding covers summer language study as well as summer research.  Students manage an individual research and travel fund provided by the department.  Advanced students are encouraged to apply for outside grants and fellowships as well as for assistantships and other professionally valuable opportunities at Stanford's Cantor Arts Center, Anderson Collection and elsewhere on campus. Information on language study grants, pre-doctoral grants, and funds for special research and travel connected with the writing of the dissertation may be obtained from the Student Services Manager. Additional information about graduate financial aid, including a student budget and tuition calculator, is available at  financialaid.stanford.edu/grad .

Department of the History of Art

University of california, riverside, about the department of the history of art.

With its recently established PhD program, a well-respected MA program and a rich and varied array of undergraduate courses, the department provides a congenial and stimulating context in which to explore the history of art in different cultures and periods. Through close collaboration with departments such as History, Comparative Literature, Ethnic Studies, English, Anthropology, Music and, of course, Art, our teaching and research are embedded in the wider fields of the arts and humanities and we see art history as an essentially interdisciplinary activity. All members of our distinguished faculty are internationally recognized and actively publishing – see our individual faculty profiles– and our teaching and supervision of students at all levels is informed by these research interests. Covering medieval to the contemporary periods, our research and teaching deals with images and artifacts from Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Why study art history? Throughout history, art and architecture have been among the most powerful means of social interaction and communication. Today, the visual dominates our world more than ever before. The discipline of Art History attempts to analyze how images and materials have been used in the past and are used in the present through a thorough understanding of their visual, contextual, and ideological bases. The History of Art is a unique discipline in that it allows students to approach and to access a great variety of subjects through the study of material culture. At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, students examine works of art in relation to the historical, political, cultural, social, philosophical and theological circumstances surrounding their creation.

Undergraduate studies in Art History are designed to contribute to the general education of all students, stressing an understanding of the visual arts within their cultural and historical contexts.

A major in Art History is essential preparation for graduate work in the discipline, and it also provides an excellent background for those planning to attend graduate and professional schools in other areas, or for those entering a more general job market.

At the graduate level the department offers an MA degree to prepare students for further academic study at the doctoral level, and for careers in art critical writing and in museums, galleries, and other arts institutions. The MA may be completed in two years of full-time study, with the first year focused on coursework and the second on the research and writing of the thesis. This well-established MA program has recently been complemented by a separate PhD program. With its strengths in both the early modern and modern / contemporary fields, the department can offer specialist supervision in several specific areas, including the histories of architecture, sculpture and photography. Students working on photography can take advantage of internships and courses held at UCR’s California Museum of Photography. Research at all levels is supported by the department’s Visual Resources Center.

The Department of Art History is a lively and stimulating place and we look forward to hearing from you.

Hector Reyes on how math and art are closely linked in USC Dornsife video feature “The Mathematics of Art”

In this USC Dornsife video feature, mathematics and art may seem diametrically opposed, but there is creativity and beauty in both. USC Dornsife’s Felicia Tabing is a mathematician who approaches her field of study through a creative lens. USC Dornsife’s Enrique Martinez Celaya is a professor, artist and former physicist who uses his mathematical background to inspire his work. Together with Dornsife art historian Hector Reyes, the three examine how math and art are more closely linked than it appears.

Fully Funded PhD Programs in Art History

As part of my series on  How to Fully Fund Your PhD , I provide a list of universities that offer fully funded PhD programs in Art History. Through a PhD in Art History, you could work as an Art Director, Writers and Author, Postsecondary Art Teacher, curator, and many more.

Fully funded PhD programs provide a funding package for full-time students that includes full tuition remission and an annual stipend or salary for the three to the six-year duration of the student’s doctoral studies. Funding is typically offered in exchange for graduate teaching and research work that is complementary to your studies. Not all universities provide full funding to their doctoral students, which is why I recommend researching the financial aid offerings of all the potential Ph.D. programs in your academic field, including small and lesser-known schools both in the U.S. and abroad.

You can also find several external fellowships in the  ProFellow Database  for graduate and doctoral study, as well as dissertation research, fieldwork, language study, and summer work experience.

Everything that I learned at the Academy really helped put me above the competition in the field that I’m in. It is the school that is going to push you to be the best artist that you can be. Every time I shoot, there’s something that I’m using.

It’s a community. Being an alumna of Academy of Art University, you always have that community with you.

The reason I chose the Academy was games and architecture. It’s very rare to find a school that does both.

Pride celebration highlights LGBTQ+ history, advocacy, and art

Home » Pride celebration highlights LGBTQ+ history, advocacy, and art

Event featured presentations from USC ONE Archives and the Los Angeles LGBT Center, paintings and ceramic art displays, and music by Mariachi Arco-Iris de Los Angeles.

Faculty, staff and students of the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology enjoyed presentations on LGBTQ+ history and activism as well as art displays, music and lunch during the school’s third annual Pride celebration and lunch on June 12, 2024.

Pinchas Cohen, dean of the USC Leonard Davis School, welcomed attendees and emphasized the school’s commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ community members.

“We celebrate our LGBTQ colleagues and stand beside them in every way,” he said.

Expert speakers

Derrick Morton , assistant professor of biological sciences and gerontology, spoke about the origins of Pride following the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and other milestones for LGBTQ+ advocacy, including the removal of homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1973 and the nationwide legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015. He noted that while these successes are important, there is still more to be done to support members of gender and sexual minority communities.

“Tolerance is just the bare minimum, and acceptance is the standard,” Morton said. “Celebration should be the norm.”

Loni Shibuyama, librarian with the ONE Archives at the USC Libraries, spoke about the archives’ origin in 1952 with ONE Inc., the creator of ONE Magazine, the first nationally distributed magazine for gay and lesbian people. Today, ONE Archives is the largest repository of LGBTQ+ materials is the world, housing millions of items including periodicals, books, films, videos, audio recordings, photographs, artworks, organizational records, and personal papers.

These records show was life was like for famous activists and ordinary LGBTQ+ people alike, Shibuyama said. The archives also include records detailing the history of organizations advocating for older LGBTQ+ adults, including Senior Action in a Gay Environment and the Society for Senior Gay and Lesbian Citizens , she added.

Kiera Pollock, director of senior services at the Los Angeles LGBT Center , discussed the center’s role as the first LGBT nonprofit in the U.S. and its ownership and operation of Triangle Square Apartments, the nation’s first affordable housing development created with LGBTQ+ older adults in mind. A welcoming, affirming community is especially important for older members of gender and sexual minority groups, she explained, as they may not find the support they need in traditional senior communities and may even feel pressure to go back into the closet.

“Many older LGBTQ+ adults have no chosen family of support,” Pollock said. “LGBT-friendly long-term care is one of their biggest concerns.”

Music and artistic expression

Following the presentations, students, staff and faculty enjoyed lunch, a photobooth, art, and music in the Andrus Center courtyard.

The Sophie Davis Gallery hosted an intergenerational art exhibition featuring local artists from the LGBTQ community. Works on display included paintings by John LaRoche and Miguel Angel Reyes as well as ceramic art and live pottery demonstration by Nicole Reyes (no relation) of Cobalt & Clay .

Mariachi Arco-Iris de Los Angeles performed live music for attendees. The group is the world’s first LGBTQ+ mariachi ( arcoiris is Spanish for rainbow) and was created as a haven for mariachi musicians who identify as LGBTQ+ to come together and perform traditional Mexican regional music, per the band’s website.

	Jun 18, 2024   2024-2025 Graduate Catalog     2024-2025 Graduate Catalog Program Educational Goals: Students will demonstrate:  Knowledge of artistic traditions across a wide diversity of times and places, and also a high level of knowledge in one particular area of study, whether chronological, geographical and/or thematic. The ability to write about works of art clearly and with appropriate attention to such factors as style, iconography, condition, provenance and reception. They will demonstrate the ability to present their writing with the appropriate citations of evidence from both primary and secondary, visual and textual, sources, and to use at least one language other than English as necessary for their scholarship. The ability to communicate their knowledge concerning works of art in oral form, both to other art professionals and to more general audiences. Program Policy Document: Please see the Program Policy Document for more information.     Requirements for the Degree: For students seeking a PhD in art history, the Department offers two routes to degree completion. One is designed for students who hold an MA in art history or its equivalent. The other, the Direct PhD Program, is an accelerated path designed for students who hold a Bachelor’s Degree in art history, or a related field, and are seeking a PhD in Art History. Students admitted to the Direct PhD Program have the option of stepping out of the program at the MA degree. Direct PhD Program Requirements (with BA degree in hand): Requirements for students in the Direct PhD program consist of a minimum of 36 credits of graduate course work, satisfactory completion of the language requirement (advanced proficiency in at least one language other than English), three credits of ARTH 870 - Master’s Paper   , and major and minor PhD field exams. Candidates then produce a dissertation, which is defended in an oral examination. Upon the successful completion of 27 credits of coursework and 3 credits of ARTH 870   , a language exam, and the Master’s Paper, students will be awarded an M.A. degree. Core Coursework: A minimum of 36 credits of graduate course work is required, with at least 27 of these credits to be in Art History seminar courses and the other 9 to be selected from additional seminars, graduate lecture courses, or independent study courses, or a combination of these. Chronological Distribution: Students enrolled in the Direct Ph.D. Program must take at least one (1) graduate seminar or graduate-level lecture course (600 or 800 level) in each of the following four (4) time periods (if a course cuts across boundaries between time periods, it will count as one period only at the judgment of the faculty and in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies). At the beginning of each semester, all Department of Art History courses will be identified as satisfying the requirement in one (or none) of these areas. Students who wish to satisfy the distribution requirement with courses taken outside the Department of Art History must petition the Director of Graduate Studies in writing before enrolling in such a course, and must receive approval for the satisfaction of the distribution requirement by that course from the Director of Graduate Studies. The list below is not exhaustive and is subject to change. Before the year 1400: ARTH 605 - Studies in Greek and Roman Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 606 - Studies in Medieval Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 613 - Studies in Renaissance Art & Architecture Credit(s): 3 ARTH 616 - Studies in Italian Baroque Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 617 - Studies in Northern Baroque Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 619 - Studies in Art of the Iberian World, 1400-1800 Credit(s): 3 ARTH 620 - Seminar in African Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 621 - Studies in Nineteenth Century Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 627 - Studies in the History of Photography Credit(s): 3 ARTH 629 - Seminar in Modern Architecture Credit(s): 3-12 ARTH 635 - American Art to 1900 Credit(s): 3 1900-present: AFRA 645 - Black Bodies on Display: Race in Museums Credit(s): 3 ARTH 623 - Studies in Modern Art since 1900 Credit(s): 3 ARTH 626 - Studies in Modern Art and Theory Credit(s): 3 ARTH 636 - Modern American Art Credit(s): 3 ARTH 656 - Studies in Contemporary Architecture Credit(s): 3 Geographic Distribution: Students enrolled in the Direct Ph.D. Program must take at least one (1) course in three of the following five (5) areas (if a course cuts across boundaries between geographic areas, it will count as one area only at the judgment of the faculty and in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies).  ARTH 602 - Seminar: Curatorial Studies Credit(s): 3 ARTH 633 - Seminar in Orientalism and Postcolonial Art History Credit(s): 3 Art of the Americas: HIST 605 - Historiography of Material Culture Credit(s): 3 UAPP 654 - Architecture of Everyday Life Credit(s): 3 East Asian: Art of islam, master’s paper requirement:. Three credits. ARTH 870 - Master’s Paper Credit(s): 3 Language Requirement: The Department of Art History considers the ability to read scholarly works in languages other than English essential. All graduate students entering the M.A. or the Ph.D. Programs in the Department are expected to have upon enrollment or to gain at the earliest possible moment the ability to read works in the history of art in at least one language other than English, as approved by their faculty adviser and the Director of Graduate Studies and as appropriate to their course of study. Proficiency in the selected language will be tested by a Departmental language examination. During a period of one hour, with the use of a dictionary, the student must translate a passage of art historical writing. Ph.D. students must demonstrate an advanced proficiency in the language and be able to comprehend sophisticated art historical writing. Although only one language is required to obtain the degree, doctoral students wishing to apply or be nominated to certain outside fellowships may be required to demonstrate competence in two languages.  Comprehensive Examinations: The Direct Ph.D. student is required to take the Ph.D. Comprehensive Examinations (including both major and minor field examinations) no later than the end of the second week of the second semester following the completion of Ph.D. coursework, but not before having completed Ph.D. course work and having satisfactorily completed the language requirement. Successful completion of both parts of the comprehensive examination is required for admission to Doctoral Candidacy. A student’s major and minor fields should be distinct from one another, separated by some combination of geography, time period, media, or other factors as appropriate. Definition of the major and minor fields, although proposed by the student, must have the approval of the primary faculty adviser and the Director of Graduate Studies. Both the major and minor field examinations are assessed as either passing or failing. An affirmative vote for a passing grade by a majority of the examiners is necessary for the examination to be considered passing. Should the student fail either the major field or the minor field examination, the student will be given an opportunity to take that portion only for a second time. The second attempt to pass the examination must be made not later than the end of the first semester after the first attempt to pass that portion. Failure to pass the examination on the second attempt will result in termination from the program effective at the end of that term. No third attempt will be permitted. Major Field: The major field exam comprises written and oral components, both administered by an examining committee. The written component of the exam is designed to test the student’s knowledge of the field (including works of art and significant themes and issues in the scholarship) and critical thinking. After consulting with the student the examining committee will define five to eight broad areas or themes that will guide preparation for the exam. Each area should encompass a broad segment of the field and command a substantial bibliography. A bibliography usually containing 25 to 40 items (a mix of books and articles) for each theme will be prepared by the student and approved by the committee. The exam itself will consist of six questions designed by the examiners to engage the prepared areas. The student will be expected to answer three of these questions in essays of no more than 3,000 words each within a period of three consecutive days. The oral component, a two-hour exam, will be held no more than one week after the written exam is completed. It may return to the questions posed in the written exam but is not restricted to them, and the student may be asked to relate particular works to themes addressed in the written exam. Minor Field: The minor field exam only comprises a written component administered by an examining committee. The minor exam is designed to test the student’s knowledge of the field (including works of art and significant themes and issues in the scholarship) and critical thinking. Three to five broad areas or themes will be defined by the examining committee after consulting with the student. A bibliography containing 10 to 15 items for each theme will be prepared by the student and approved by the committee. The exam itself will consist of two parts and extend over a period of three consecutive days. The first part will contain six questions designed by the examiners to engage the prepared areas. The student will be expected to answer three of these questions in essays of no more than 2,000 words each. In the second part of the exam, the student will answer three of six questions, in essays of no more than 1,000 words each, based on specific works or groups of works which may be visual or textual.

Requirements for the PhD for students holding an MA include a minimum of 24 credits of graduate course work beyond the MA and satisfactory completion of the language requirement (advanced proficiency in at least one language other than English) and major and minor PhD field  exams. In addition to the 24 credits of graduate course work, nine Dissertation Credits are required. Candidates then produce a dissertation, which is defended in an oral examination. A minimum of 24 credits of graduate course work beyond the M.A. is required, with at least 18 of these credits to be in Art History seminar courses and the other 6 to be selected from additional seminars, graduate lecture courses, or independent study courses, or a combination of these. Students who enter the Ph.D. Program with an M.A. in Art History from another institution must take at least one (1) graduate seminar or graduate-level lecture course (600 or 800 level) in three (3) of the following four (4) time periods (if a course cuts across boundaries between time periods, it will count as one period only at the judgment of the faculty and in  consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies). At the beginning of each semester, all Department of Art History courses will be identified as satisfying the requirement in one (or none) of these areas. Students who wish to satisfy the distribution requirement with courses taken outside the Department of Art History must petition the Director of Graduate Studies in writing before enrolling in such a course, and must receive approval for the satisfaction of the distribution requirement by that course from the Director of Graduate Studies.  Students holding M.A. degrees from other programs, who have taken graduate seminars offered by the Department of Art History as part of their M.A. credits, may submit a written request to the Director of Graduate Studies to allow such courses to satisfy their doctoral breadth requirements; if the request is approved, the student will still need to complete the 24 credits of graduate course work beyond the M.A. required by the Ph.D. program. Students who enter the Ph.D. Program with an M.A. in Art History from another institution must take at least one (1) course in three (3) of the following five (5) areas (if a course cuts across boundaries between geographic areas, it will count as one area only at the judgment of the faculty and in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies).  The list below is not exhaustive and is subject to change.

Job Segment: History, Artist, Social Sciences, Creative Accessibility Land Acknowledgment utoronto.ca Why you should visit Victoria, Vancouver's little sister with a big history British Columbia’s capital has grand architecture, First Nations art and Canada’s oldest Chinatown, all fringed by easily accessible wilderness. On the southern tip of Vancouver Island, sailboats bob in Victoria’s harbour and chateau-style buildings stand beside leafy parks. The gentle pace of life in British Columbia’s compact capital is part of its appeal, yet it’s far from a provincial backwater. An easy journey from Vancouver, the city has excellent neighbourhood restaurants, breweries and coffee shops, while its museums and galleries showcase the region’s Indigenous heritage. It’s also surrounded by wild landscapes and makes a natural jumping-off point for whale-watching. Presiding over the harbour, the British Columbia Parliament Buildings are the city’s centrepiece, an 1890s icon whose marbled interiors are open for free daytime tours. Across the street, the Fairmont Empress is one of Canada’s grandest hotels, with Elizabeth II and Rudyard Kipling among its storied guests. Afternoon tea in the opulent Lobby Lounge is one of Victoria’s quintessential experiences. Through first-class exhibits, the Royal BC Museum delves deep into the province’s natural past (look out for the life-sized woolly mammoth), as well as its rich First Nations heritage. There are more than 225,000 artefacts in its collection, from masks belonging to the Haida people to traditional clothing from the Nlaka’pamux. Adjoining the museum is Thunderbird Park, named after the legendary bird and home to some of the museum’s most spectacular totem poles. There’s much to discover in lively Downtown. Bibliophiles will love browsing the shelves at Munro’s Books , a shop housed in a former bank, with its coffered ceiling and spectacular painted textiles by local artist Carole Sabiston. The Mark Loria Gallery , meanwhile, specialises in contemporary Canadian Indigenous art. Victoria’s Chinatown   is the oldest in Canada, home to retro neon signs and restaurants such as Don Mee , which has served dim sum for more than 80 years. Fan Tan Alley claims to be one of the world’s narrowest streets; squeeze along the lantern-festooned lane for a range of quirky boutiques, from Saltspring Soapworks , which sells natural body-care products, to Just Matcha , which stocks premium-grade tea. Close by is Habit Coffee , a laid-back cafe with local art on its exposed-brick walls and Victorian suppliers on its menu — stop by to pick up beans from Bows Coffee Roasters or teas from Earth’s Herbal, both based in the city.       There’s more BC produce on offer at Wind Cries Mary , a moodily lit Downtown spot where the province’s oysters, mussels and salmon prop up a menu of sharing plates and cocktails. On the harbourfront, Red Fish Blue Fish is the place to go for jerk fish poutine, a fiery take on the Canadian classic. If brunch is on the cards, try John’s Place , a kitsch, old-school spot serving waffles, pancakes and ‘Bat Out Of Hell meatloaf and eggs’, or head for the bubblegum-pink Floyd’s Diner in James Bay, where asking for ‘The Mahoney’ will get you whatever takes the chef’s fancy. For a tipple, Downtown’s Citrus & Cane mixes killer cocktails with a tropical twist (try the ‘ooh dat’s spicy’, made with Sons of Vancouver chilli vodka), while Boomtown serves a raft of BC porters and pale ales in its beer garden. But there’s no resisting the call of the wild, with the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail, Goldstream Provincial Park and The Butchart Gardens within easy reach of the city. Dallas Road is also worth a drive or cycle — start in Fisherman’s Wharf Park, near the harbour, and wind east for six miles past beaches, bays and Beacon Hill Park, home to the world’s tallest freestanding totem pole at 128ft, before calling at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel . It makes an elegant stop for a glass of wine from BC’s Okanagan Valley, with views across to the Chatham Islands. For whale-watching, try Eagle Wing Tours; between June and October is the best time to spot Victoria’s marine residents. Three wildlife spotting adventures in Victoria 1. Juan de Fuca marine Trail Keep eyes peeled for black bears on this 29-mile route through dense forests, over river gorges and along secluded beaches. It takes three to five days to complete, and there are chances to refuel at rustic diners along the way.   2.   Goldstream Provincial Park A naturalist’s paradise, this park has quiet forest walking trails, plunging waterfalls and a challenging climb to the top of the 1,375ft-tall Mount Finlayson, with bald eagles screeching overhead. Autumn sees the spectacular salmon run, too. 3.   Eagle Wing Tours This family-run company offers whale-watching trips in the Salish Sea with a team of guides. Seeing a pod of orcas or a humpback is a true highlight of a trip to Victoria, but ospreys, sea otters and elephant seals can also be spotted among the craggy islets on these three- to four-hour trips.
