Art and Social Consciousness: Environmental Lens (Grades 6-12)

Two adults and a teen girl work on an art project

Explore the collection with the earth in mind. Consider how environmental concerns are woven into the art making and viewing processes.

This Denver Art Museum field trip experience develops students’ ability to critically reflect on the multifaceted connections between environmentalism and art. Young people today live in an era of many challenges to the life-sustaining environments of our planet. This field trip offers opportunities to discuss both environmental impacts and activism in art. Through art viewing at the Denver Art Museum, this experience provides a dynamic way to supplement young people’s awareness of environmental issues, helps them make personal connections, and sparks interest in sustainability.

Art and Social Consciousness: Identity Lens (Grades 6-12)

Teacher leading a school tour

We can view art through many different lenses to explore our world and our identities. Art can reflect who we are and help us understand ourselves and others better.

This Denver Art Museum field trip experience supports young people’s social and emotional development journey by cultivating self-awareness, social awareness/empathy and self-regulation techniques. By investigating topics related to social emotional learning this experience assists young people to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, as well as feel and show empathy for others, all while building collaborative and trusting relationships between classmates, with chaperones and teachers as well as museum staff and volunteers.

Art and Social Consciousness: Power and Privilege Lens (Grades 9-12)

Teen girls creating art and an artmaking station

Explore ways objects and artworks display or challenge ideas about power and privilege. What is power? Who has power and why? What is your own power?

This Denver Art Museum field trip experience develops young people’s ability to critically reflect on power dynamics in society and grapple with social justice issues that are important to them. This field trip plants seeds of inquiry and offers students tools for contemplation. Students interrogate the complex topics of power and privilege, both of which intersect with all aspects of society, including art. Through this experience at the DAM, students develop themselves as responsible global citizens, with tools to disrupt and challenge systemic and individual issues when they see them.

1997: 10 Top Museum Trips

  • Show more sharing options
  • Copy Link URL Copied!

Sleeping in a yurt in Mongolia, searching for fossils of prehistoric mollusk-like creatures in Morocco and visiting the “loneliest place on Earth” are a few of the activities promised by our top 10 museum-sponsored adventures of 1997.

As she has done yearly since 1993, Ann H. Waigand, publisher of the Educated Traveler newsletter, selected 10 personal favorites from the hundreds of tours being offered this year by American museums, professional societies and other nonprofit institutions.

The tours are in chronological order. Prices are per person, based on double occupancy and, as is always the case, are subject to change. Some prices include meals and excursions; others don’t. Tours are subject to availability and organizers reserve the right to change or cancel itineraries.

For more information on any of the trips, contact tour-sponsoring institutions through the telephone numbers and addresses that follow.

(A full directory of museum-sponsored trips goes out annually to those who subscribe to the Educated Traveler, P.O. Box 220822, Chantilly, VA 22022; telephone [800] 648-5168. Cost is $48 yearly for six issues and directories to tours that this year include Dubrovnik and the islands of the Adriatic, Mongolia, Siberia and Hong Kong.)

Hong Kong 1997: Year of the Ox

Feb. 13 to 20. Santa Barbara Museum of Art and Tucson Museum of Art; tel. (805) 963-4364, Ext. 336. Price: $2,975, including air fare from Los Angeles.

Itinerary includes meetings with cultural and political leaders in Hong Kong--particularly timely because the changeover to Chinese rule is scheduled for June 1997--and is scheduled to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Hong Kong Arts Festival. Participants will meet with a director of the Hong Kong Art Museum, attend Arts Festival exhibitions and take a half-day motor-coach tour of Hong Kong.

African Fossil Hunt: Morocco

Feb. 22 to March 8. Houston Museum of Natural Science; tel. (713) 639-4660. Price: $2,750, including air fare from Houston.

You don’t often see people going to Morocco for geology. The tour is led by Chris Cunningham, curator of paleontology at the Houston museum and John Moffitt, one of the nation’s leading trilobite (a prehistoric arthropod similar to a mollusk) collectors. Participants head through the rugged Atlas Mountains to Mt. Issoumour on the edge of the Sahara Desert to collect trilobites and learn about North Africa’s anthropology and culture.

Exclusively Egypt

March 7 to 22. Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County and the Museum of Science, Boston; tel. (213) 744-3350. Price: $4,555, including air fare from New York and air fare within Egypt.

Waigand says she would always recommend an Egypt tour led by Kent Weeks. Since he made his great discovery (the tomb of the sons of Ramses II) in 1995, there’s been concern that he would stop leading tours. Every trip he leads is “one last chance to travel with a charismatic man who really knows his stuff.” The tour covers most major and some minor ancient sites, including the Luxor, Great Pyramids of Giza, Abu Simbel and Valley of the Kings.

Oxford/Smithsonian Seminar Cruise in the Greek Islands

April 16 to 25. Smithsonian Study Tours and Seminars; tel. (202) 357-4700, Ext. 238. Price: $3,895 to $5,995, depending on cabin selection. Air fare is included from New York.

This a new venture for the Smithsonian; its seminar at Oxford has been popular for more than 15 years, but this is the first time it has taken Oxford faculty and transferred the seminar format to a cruise ship, the Arcadia. There will be small group tutorials, as at Oxford, with the focus on classical civilization. Port stops include Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos and Delos.

The Silk Roads of China: East and West

May 2 to 23. The Newark Museum, New Jersey; tel. (201) 596-6550. Price: $4,800, not including air fare.

This trip will be Led by the Newark Museum’s curator of Asian Collections and by a Hong Kong-based expert on Chinese art, history, literature and cuisine who has lived in China and Hong Kong for 20 years. The focus is silk and textiles, and there will be meetings with local scholars, artists and private dealers in their homes. The tour begins with an optional visit to Hong Kong. Participants visit Xian, Urumqu and Turfan.

June 15 to July 1. Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia; tel. (215) 299-1000. Price: $5,890 for Academy members; membership fee is $125. Includes air fare from Newark, N.J.

The tour is led by the academy’s director of the Institute of Mongolian Biodiversity and Ecological Research, Clyde Goulden, and the chairman of the Academy’s Department of Ornithology, Robert Ridgely. They are conducting a “biological inventory” of Mongolia, attempting to catalog much of the flora and fauna there. Three diverse ecosystems are visited: the steppes in Ulan Bator, the Gobi desert, and Lake Hovsgol near a mountain region. Guests stay in yurts and meet the people of the area.

Majestic Yenisey River: Siberia

June 26 to July 10. Harvard University, Museum of Cultural and Natural History and the American Museum of Natural History, Cambridge; tel. (617) 495-2463. Price: $4,990, excluding air fare.

This is one of the first American journeys on this Siberian waterway. Guides include the curator of ichthyology at Harvard’s Museum of Comparative Zoology, an expert on Arctic breeding birds, and a history professor who has family roots in the area. Participants meet the peoples of the North Pacific Rim. Guests cruise on the river, stopping to see the Arctic tundra, small villages and wildlife.

The Next Sweden: Sustainable Partnerships With Nature

August. Science Museum of Minnesota, St. Paul; tel. (612) 221-4513. Price and exact date won’t be set until the end of January, but the price will be about $4,000, not including air fare for a 10-day trip.

The aim of this tour is to study how Sweden has created economic practices that are ecologically sound. There will be many “green”-related meetings with Swedish industry and government leaders at the sites where ecological practices are taking place. Participants visit the cities of Stockholm and Goteborg, small villages and the lake country in southern Sweden.

2,000 Years of Italian Masterpieces: Venice to Rome Aboard the Sea Goddess I

Sept. 23 to Oct. 4. Archives of American Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and the Smithsonian Institution; tel. (800) 221-1944 or (212) 514-8921. Price: $6,900, not including air fare.

This is another privately chartered cruise, this one led by Metropolitan Museum of Art lecturer Olivier Bernier. What you can’t tell from the itinerary is that the tour operator handed Bernier a yellow pad and a pen, and said, “Design your ideal arts-related itinerary in Italy.” He did, and, as a result, participants will see the paintings, sculptures and architecture of Ravenna, Bari, Messina, Sicily, Malta and Naples. An optional tour of Rome starts Oct. 4.

Atlantic Islands

Oct. 27 to Nov. 28. American Museum of Natural History, New York; tel. (212) 769-5700 or (800) 462-8687. Price: $3,995 to $8,795, not including air fare.

This is one of the few tours that visit Tristan da Cunha, considered the “loneliest place on Earth.” Usually you can get there only by freighter. The American Museum of Natural History is chartering a ship and has custom-designed the itinerary. Participants sail to this island group in the middle of the South Atlantic, visit the villages and see the wildlife. Passengers also visit the Falkland Islands and St. Helena where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

museum sponsored trips

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

museum sponsored trips

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

museum sponsored trips

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

museum sponsored trips

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

museum sponsored trips

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

British Airways Concorde travels the Hudson River as it returns to the Intrepid Museum

After months of restoration work at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the iconic British Airways Concorde aircraft has returned to its home at the Intrepid Museum.

The Concorde was loaded onto a barge Wednesday and sailed up the Hudson River to Weeks Marine in Jersey City for an overnight stay. It embarked on its final journey back to the Museum on Thursday.

Shortly thereafter, the Concorde was lifted by a 300-foot crane and returned to Pier 86.

Pier 86 was opened to the public, allowing visitors to witness the Concorde's return firsthand. A livestream was also set up.

The British Airways Concorde, renowned as the fastest commercial aircraft in the world, has been a cherished exhibit at the Intrepid Museum since its arrival at Pier 86 in 2003. The extensive restoration project involved stripping the aircraft's paint coating, sanding it and reapplying the plane's well-known colors and markings.

History: North Jersey men were among 1,100 who served in secretive WWII Ghost Army that duped Nazis

Simultaneously, the museum is renovating a section of Pier 86 adjacent to the Concorde's display area.

Tours of the Concorde are set to resume on April 4. Visitors will once again be able to step inside the Concorde, learn about its storied past and look into its sophisticated flight deck.

Taylor Swift-themed planetarium show opens at the Springfield Museums this weekend

Get ready for a field trip (taylor’s version)..

Taylor Swift performs at Gillette Stadium on May 19, 2023. A new planetarium featuring music from Swift's album “1989 – Taylor’s Version" will open at the Springfield Museums this weekend.

Swifties have already taken the Bay State to school with all the Taylor Swift-themed classes popping up. Now it’s time for a field trip.

The Springfield Museums will launch “1989 Under the Stars” this weekend, a new planetarium show celebrating Swift’s hit album “1989 (Taylor’s Version).” The 30-minute light and music show will take over the Seymour Planetarium March 23 through May 18, featuring tracks from the 2023 re-recording of her fifth studio album, including “Wildest Dreams,” “Blank Space,” “Shake It Off,” and “Bad Blood.”

According to a press release , fans can expect to see “moving, swirling, kaleidoscopic light and color” set to “sweet melodious sounds” that will have Swifties shaking it off throughout the show. Following the music, a planetarium instructor will also give audiences a rundown on different stars relevant to Swift.

“I am extremely excited to present a show featuring one of my favorites and one of the most popular artists of all time,” Jenny Powers, director of science, said in a press release statement. “I hope we will see new audiences to [the Seymour Planetarium] for the first time through Taylor’s music and the stunning visuals on our planetarium dome.”

Tickets to “1989 Under the Stars” are free for museum members and $5 for non-members ages 8 and up, who must also purchase admission to the museum.

During the show, visitors should keep an eye out for Easter eggs hidden within the visual elements of the production, which are meant to remind fans that this is Taylor’s Version.

The Springfield Museums is also teaming up with Spin That Records for Taylor Swift Music Nights at the Seymour Planetarium May 9 and 10. The events will feature images of the night sky on the venue’s full-dome Zeiss system as vinyl records of Swift’s music play in the background.
