For college and university art and design students, there is no substitute for standing in front of the work itself. Scale, surface, brushwork and material all flatten on a screen, and seeing them first-hand sharpens the visual literacy, critical analysis and contextual understanding at the heart of further and higher education study.

Travelling to see it also builds the independence, cultural awareness and creative confidence that degree courses and employers look for.

Our trips are built around that first-hand experience. Students can study the Old Masters at the Uffizi in Florence, trace modern and contemporary movements at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, explore Danish design at Copenhagen’s Designmuseum Danmark, or see how Gaudi reshaped a whole city in Barcelona.
