Slideshow: Students Tour Norton Simon Museum
This past weekend some 25 Thomas Aquinas College seniors and tutors enjoyed an educational tour of one of Los Angeles’s finest art museums led by an expert docent — College Governor Maria O. Grant.
Saturday’s visit to Pasadena’s Norton Simon Museum was one of three such outings arranged, sponsored, and directed by Mrs. Grant, who is a Museum Educator at the Norton Simon and previously served as an Overseer at the Huntington Library in San Marino. In November Mrs. Grant led a group of students on a tour of the Getty Center, and in February she took them to the Getty Villa.
The tours, which focus on works of art that bear a connection to the works students read in the College’s classical curriculum, have become something of a College tradition. Mrs. Grant first began leading them in 2010 in order to supplement the College’s curriculum and because, as she put it, “We have access to some of the best museums in the world.”
