WHAT TO BRING
Wear clean, presentable, comfortable clothes and shoes; we will be representing our school and doing a LOT of walking, both indoor and out; plan accordingly.
Bring a snack to eat on the bus on the way down; we will not get to the MFA until 10:00 and won’t be eating lunch until after 1:00.
Bring a mechanical pencil or several sharpened pencils with you; you will be completing a packet during your scavenger hunt/tour of the museum.
Bring a lunch to eat (or money to buy lunch at Quincy Market).
Bring an afternoon snack to eat on the bus on the ride home (or money to buy a snack at Quincy Market); we will not be back at BHS until 6:00PM.
BUS
Please be at the back (gym) parking lot no later than 6:45AM so I can take attendance before we depart at 7:00.
Use the bathroom before we leave; there are times when the bathroom on the bus is out of order and we’re not going to arrive at the MFA until 10:00AM.
Gather all the trash you generate while on the bus and deposit it in the trash can at the front of the bus on your way out (do not get up while the bus is in motion).
Feel free to bring a DVD to watch on the bus – we will gather all options and vote as a bus to decide what we want to watch.
AT THE MFA
We will be leaving all our backpacks, lunches, water bottles, etc. in a group bins in the MFA group tours lobby (we are not allowed to bring these items into the galleries).
Focus on the ART; silence your cell phones and refrain from texting.
Use low voices, always walk (never run), and stay with your chaperone and group at all times.
Please don’t touch, lean on, or point at any artwork, exhibit, or display.
Please be sure to adhere to photography rules; in general, visitors may take photographs as long as no flash, lights, or tripods are used. Photographs may not be reproduced, distributed, or sold without permission from the MFA.
REMEMBER:
just like you, the other visitors are there to enjoy the museum – be courteous!
Have FUN!!
