Seniors visit the Museum of Fine Arts

On Wednesday, the Senior class took a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. It was a gorgeous day, and the class ate lunch outside and played games near the sculpture garden. Then we went inside for a guided tour through the Egyptian, Greek and Roman exhibits. It was fascinating for the students to see some of the objects they have been hearing about in Humanities.
