Another noteworthy school of higher learning in Prague is the Academy of Fine Arts (Prague). Founded in 1799, it's the oldest art college located in the Czech Republic. The founding of the college was part of the formation of several organizations that promoted both art and education. It initially provided instruction in drawing, though later was expanded to include other programs, such as painting, sculpture, and architecture. The Academy of Fine Arts underwent major restructuring in 1990. Then in 1991, programs for computer animation and film were added to the school's curriculum. Today, the university offers instruction in both historic and contemporary art. It also includes international programs, with some classes being taught in English.
