Field Trip!
One of the things I love about our homeschooling journey is the field trips. Tomorrow, we are going to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts where they are hosting “The Louvre and the Masterpiece” from through January 10, 2010.
From the site:
Marvel at superb art objects from France’s great museum. Drawing from each collection area, this fascinating exhibition explores why some artworks are considered masterpieces, while others are runners-up. Feast your eyes and get art smart by looking at side-by-side comparisons of objects spanning 4,000 years. And find out how the Louvre used science to spot a forgery in its midst. A once-in-a-lifetime event!
I am very impressed with how museums are leading other companies to having an integrated experience. The website posts images to get a preview of the exhibit. In addition, you can download an audio guide and map for the exhibit.
As an added bonus, for our family of 5, they cost of an annual membership is only a couple dollars more than the cost of this special exhibit. Hopefully this will encourage other families to go with the annual membership and visit the museum more often. I’ll post after the event with a review.
