Our Field Trips to See the Mayo Clinic Art Collection

We'd been looking forward to this trip all year, having studied 16 pieces of art in the vast collection and having learned about the artists and interesting history of each piece throughout the year.  One of the pieces was nearly destroyed during the attacks of 9-11 before it hung in the lobby of the Gonda Building.  One of the artists lost an eye.  One of the gigantic pieces was moved from outside the building to inside using 2 cranes.  Such a treasure trove of beauty and story!  Warhol, Chihuly, Michelangelo, Miro, Mestrovic, and on and on.  Checkout the slideshow from the 4 groups I took on the tour.
