A message from the educators:
"Thank you Art Travelers! We had so much fun studying artifacts and traveling the globe with you. The details you noticed and connections you made were the keys to uncovering the stories behind the artifacts and the cultures they represent. Continue to be curious and look closely at the world around you. We wish you a fun summer and all the best next year!"
