0115 9404 303School Art trip to San Francisco and LA
San Francisco is a melting pot of Victorian and modern architecture and is home to a diverse, cosmopolitan population. It has a thriving arts scene and museums are plenty in the bay area. You can also enjoy many festivals, special events and parades held in the city over the year.
LA is a thriving, multilayered city filled with world-class museums, music, food, architecture and gardens. Hollywood is an obvious choice for a visit; however, less well known attractions like the museum of contemporary art reveal a richer cultural scene.
