Field Trip to MAM construction site
It was hot and we had to wear hard hats, but we totally enjoyed riding the MetroRail to MAM's future location in Museum Park. We got a great tour from the Landscape Architect and the Contractor and actually learned a lot about the construction process and the materials, especially the way that they create different textures in concrete.
We got to see a sample of what the "vertical gardens" are going to look like and some of the plants that they plan to use. Our city is going to have one of the most awesome art museums in the world! Wow!!!
It was a tiring day, but we learned a lot. The ride on the MetroRail was great. A lot of us had never been on the MetroRail before. It was a whole new way to see the city of Miami!

I went to this field trip and learned a lot about construction aswell as several things about how planning works and just how long it takes. It was a very fun and interesting experience which is to be expected from this program.

ReplyDeleteI am very glad that all of you are learning so much about MAM and its construction process.
ReplyDeleteThe more involved you get with your museum the more you learn about everything because the source of knowledge that they offer to you through the work of artists they exhibit brings you to see life differently appreciating beauty and the arts everywhere you go.
