our CC group all got tickets for free-day at the Huntington in san marino, ca.
the huntington library & gardens is a beautiful place that we've been to once before - about 3 years ago. they have free-day once each month, but you have to get tickets in advance and they are hard to come by. fortunately, we were able to get enough for our group to enjoy the opportunity together.
we chose the huntington because several of the artists we're studying this year have original works displayed here. one very impressive piece is gainsborough's famous "blue boy". we really enjoyed the chinese garden as well. we missed much of the gardens as we were inside viewing the artwork.
they've added an entire wing on astronomy since our last visit, and it was fun to see all the names we've been studying to (like copernicus, etc) mentioned - and the kids recognized them and enjoyed the exhibits that much more.
the joy of homeschooling!
