WELCOME

Welcome to the Urban Culture course at Avila University created by Susan Lawlor and Dotty Hamilton.  We travel with our students to great cities to explore art museums, engage with the architecture, study the local film and music venues, and experience the ethnic enclaves as a way to learn about the culture of urban spaces and the interaction of art and environment.  It's a fun, intense learning environment.

Musée des Beaux Arts


Day one dawned bright and sunny with our group ready to tackle the city. We started the day with a guided tour of the contemporary section of the "Museum of Fine Arts."
Piece exhibiting a collection of "I am Charlie" cartoons in support of the 12 people killed during the attack of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France.
Our tour guide explaining the large hanging paper boulder as a piece exploring perception and reality.

Who doesn't love a big soft wall of stuffed animals?

Quick everyone, stand next to your corresponding color!

What a pleasant bunch of smiling, artistically informed faces :)
