I always enjoy telling students about all the cool stuff that's available in their new city. So when the education department at the Philadelphia Museum of Art invited us to visit, we were excited to go.
On Sunday, Mary, Pete, and I went to the museum with 13 students. The museum had even supplied a school bus for us. We were there for the Asian New Year party, and the main performance featured Chinese opera. The students also enjoyed the galleries; the arms and armor exhibit and the Japanese teahouse were especially popular. The contemporary art galleries surprised them. We also went outside to the steps and took pictures of the Rocky statue. Most of the students had never been to the museum before, and they were happy to know that they could see the art again on the pay-as-you-wish Sundays.
All in all, it was a fun trip. Students are already asking about the next one, which we have scheduled for February 29: the zoo!
