Why You Should Take an Art Museum Field Trip – It is one thing to study a piece of art or an artist with a book or an online artist study.

And here are a few more reasons you should go.

Van Gogh Experience for Homeschoolers – Our entire family definitely felt immersed in Van Gogh’s beautiful works of art. Especially in the immersion room after walking through the galleries! The Van Gogh Experience would also be a great homeschool field trip or educational opportunity to celebrate your Van Gogh studies.
