After lunch, students walked to the Art Institute of Chicago. While there, students completed a scavenger hunt to find artworks from Prehistory, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Etruria, and Rome using the Goosechase app. The scavenger hunt served as a review of AP Art History and gave everyone a chance to see some of the museum's highlights. Some lucky groups saw Hokusai's Great Wave, which is only exhibited for a short amount of time every five years.

"During this field trip, I learned so much about Chicago and was able to see it in a new way. On the boat tour, I saw and learned about buildings and architectural styles that I had never heard about. It was really eye-opening to see how much Chicago has been affected by past styles.  There is so much history in Chicago and it is shown through its architecture. The clash of different buildings that were built at different time periods was interesting to me," reflected Mariyam Agdubai '27.

"A highlight of the Art Institute was seeing the sculpture of my favorite philosopher and author, Marcus Aurelius. He was known to be the last good Roman Emperor, and to get to see him even as a sculpture was truly a dream," said Michael Keefe '27.
