Furthermore, most art museums in Paris offer free entry to school groups, an excellent reason to make Paris your first choice for your next Art & Design trip.
A Source of Inspiration for Many Artists
For centuries, Paris has been the source of inspiration of many artists from around the world which led new art movements such as Impressionism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Abstract and many others to evolve in the city. Therefore, it is not a surprise that many masterpieces of theses art movements can also be admired in Paris in some of the most renowned art galleries and museums in the world, such as Le Louvre or Musée d’Orsay.
Our Art & Design trip takes you and your students on an inspirational journey of art through the different art movements. You will get the chance to see the Mona Lisa and many other masterpieces, visit the house and gardens of Claude Monet and finally see all the major sights that Paris has to offer on a cruise down the Seine.
