On 31st May, AIC High School students gathered in the schoolyard for their Art trip to the Fine Arts Museum, visiting the temporary exhibition of Hieronymus Bosch. A bright and sunny afternoon with 32 students joining. Students had the chance to visit both the Bosch and the museum's permanent collection as well.
