History
One of two art colleges created by the British Crown in British India in reaction to the Arts & Crafts Movement, the Mayo School of Industrial Arts was named in honor of the recently assassinated British Viceroy of India Lord Mayo in 1875. Its first principal was Lockwood Kipling, who was also appointed the first curator of the Lahore Museum, which opened the same year in an adjacent building. The school was renamed the National College of Arts in 1958. Designated the premier art institution in the country, it was transferred to the Education Department from the Department of Industries in the 1960s. It received degree-awarding status in 1985 and created its first graduate programs in 1999. In 2006, the school opened a second campus, at Rawalpindi. It became a university in June 2011.[1]
