Laia Anguix-Vilches is an art and museum historian with specific interests in curatorial practices, institutional collecting, and museum inclusivity. Besides multiple conference presentations, book chapters and exhibition catalogues on these topics, she has published in the Journal of Design History and the Journal of the History of Collections. She has convened two panels on curatorial practices for the Association for Art History Conference and co-edited a special guest issue on British art curation for the Museum History Journal. She has received grants from the Paul Mellon Centre and the Slovak Ministry of Culture, and she is a board member of the Museums and Galleries History Group. 

At the Department of History and Art History, she is part of Prof. Thijs Weststeijn’s Vici project The Dutch Global Age, where she investigates the contemporary curation and display of seventeenth-century Netherlandish art in museums located beyond the Europe/US axis, focusing on exhibition strategies, institutional dynamics, and public and critical reception. Her research explores how these works, often entwined with colonial histories, are interpreted to engage multicultural publics.
