Exploring Art in London

Ohio University Homepage

Winter Break

Exploring Art in London provides participants with the opportunity to explore London's rich and diverse art world and culture.

Students learn to look at and talk about art while visiting some of the world's finest and most interesting museums, galleries and historic homes.

Evening activities include a ride of the London Eye, two world class West End plays and a proper British cream tea at the famous Fortnum and Mason Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon.

The program stays in a three-star hotel in the very center of London, just two minutes’ walk from Russell Square tube station. From there you are within easy distance of literally hundreds of exciting activities.
