Philadelphia and New York: Art and Architecture
#2774
June 3-10 '10

The best of two great cities! Exploritas is proud to offer this special opportunity to experience historic Philadelphia and dynamic New York City. We begin in Philadelphia, birthplace of American independence. Get an overview of Philadelphia as a city of art and architecture. Take field trips to the incomparable Philadelphia Museum of Art, the unique Barnes Collection, and the marvelous Rodin Museum with the largest collection of the artist’s work outside France. Learn about the “Founding Fathers” who made the new nation, explore Independence National Park, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and attend a performance from current offerings. Then it's on to New York, America’s capital of great art and museums, fashion, communications, commerce and ethnic diversity. Background sessions prepare you to explore icons including the Metropolitan Museum of Art. See the city through the eyes of a New Yorker with guided walks in historic neighborhoods and dining in local restaurants.

Program in association with The Philadelphia Society For The Preservation Of Landmarks, offering educational programs since 1992.

This is an active program and requires walking up to three to five miles at a 2.5-mile-per-hour pace, the ability to go up and down two flights of stairs consecutively, and the use of public transportation. Enjoy one dinner and two lunches on your own at your own expense and experience more of New York's fine retaurants.
