Anđelko Mihanović (born 1992) obtained a Master’s degree in Art History and English Studies at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split in 2016, after which he interned at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice (2016), one of the world's most prestigious collections of modern art.
That same year he was admitted to the doctoral programme at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in Italy, which the independent U‑Multirank at the time ranked as the top doctoral school in Italy and the third worldwide among universities founded after 1980.
During his doctoral studies he interned in the United States Pavilion in Venice (2017), and he presented the results of his research at the XVI MAGIS International Film Studies Spring School (Gorizia, Italy, 2018).
At IMT Lucca in 2019 he won a Frontier Proposal Research Fellowship aimed at high‑risk, high‑impact research.
During his doctoral studies he collaborated closely with IKONA Venezia, the oldest photography gallery in Venice, and wrote catalogue prefaces for several important exhibitions.
He completed his doctorate in 2020 by defending his dissertation titled "Make Rome Great Again! Presenting the Murder of Julius Caesar in the Time of Facebook" (grade: excellent), earning the title Doctor of Philosophy. Because he spent twelve months of his doctoral research at the Department of Greek and Latin at University College London (UK), he also obtained the distinction of Doctor Europaeus.
He has presented his research at academic conferences in London and across Italy.
After finishing his doctoral studies he returned to Croatia. He worked for a year as the Curator of Documents at the Ivan Meštrović Gallery in Split (2020–2021), where he established cooperation with the University of Notre Dame Archives (USA). This research produced an article on documentation about Blessed Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac held in the Meštrović archive at the University of Notre Dame.
From 2022 to 2026 he worked in the Ministry of Culture and Media, where he engaged in the protection of cultural heritage, combining scientific research and practical professional work on cultural heritage of national significance as well as those protected by UNESCO.
He has taken part in teaching at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split as an external associate since 2020, and he holds the position of Assistant Professor here since 2026.
Mihanović’s research and professional interests focus on the reception of antiquity (particularly in politics, popular culture and new media), visual communications, issues of national cultural and artistic identity (especially in Croatia and Italy), painting and sculpture from the nineteenth century to the present, monument protection, the history of architecture and urbanism, and museology.
Alongside his academic work he writes art criticism, which he publishes in Vijenac and Hrvatska revija.
