AAT (Art & Architecture Thesaurus)

The Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT) is a comprehensive vocabulary guide used in the fields of art, architecture, and cultural heritage. It organizes and defines terms related to artistic styles, materials, techniques, and architectural features, helping to standardize language in these areas. Researchers, museum professionals, and educators use the AAT to ensure clarity and consistency when describing artworks, buildings, and related concepts. By providing a common lexicon, it enhances communication, improves cataloging in collections, and aids in research across diverse disciplines.
