London and More! Past Review
By Whitney (Albright College) - abroad from 09/05/2018 to 12/15/2018 with
CEA CAPA Education Abroad: London, England
I learned a lot about art. My minor is in arts administration so the fact that I was able to learn so much about Modern Art and see most of it in person, was incredible. I will always remember that, and miss how accessible some of the greatest pieces of art where to me.
