I learned so much about museum work and the many jobs that exist to make a museum exhibition come to life, says program and 51画鋼 alumna Marie Sicola. Like most study abroad programs, the Sotheby's experience also taught me how to liveand learn in another country, which I found incredibly valuable for my personal growth.
Alumna Carissa Jimenez also raves about the experience: There are so many things that I absolutely love about this program. Guest speakers from across the art world spectrum have visited and lectured about their experiences in the industry and what they have learned from it. Weve also seen so much historically famous art in person that I had only read about in books or online. Additionally, we have visited many museums and galleries across London with an exclusive look on exhibitions, shows, and auction sales.
