Where will we be going?
We are going to fly to London and spend the first five days exploring both Tate museums, St. Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye, the National Gallery, St. Martins in the Field, and Westminster Abbey. We will also take a day trip to Kelmscott Manor and the Cotswolds. Then we will move to our new home, Harlaxton Manor, an hour north of London outside the town of Grantham. You will love staying in this beautiful estate and exploring, painting, photographing and enjoying the manor and countryside. From Harlaxton we will take several day trips to York, Castle Howard, the town of Lincoln and it's castle and cathedral, and a tour of Cambridge. After a free weekend (you choose from several options) we will return to London for two more nights and sights such as Victoria & Albert Museum, Harrod's, Design Museum and possibly the Tower of London and a night at the theater.

The total cost for this trip is $2,500 per student which includes all transportation, lodging, food, and museums. However, it does not include the cost of your passport ($95) and any personal spending money.
What classes will be taught?
If you wish, you can take the European Art Tour for 3 hours credit to satisfy the Art History requirement or you can just come along for the ride and enjoy the sights!
