Cardinal Bevilacqua and the students were invited by the Museum to tour this extraordinary exhibition. During the 18th- Century, Rome was the artistic and cultural capital of Europe. This exhibition includes a spectacular array of painting, sculpture, works on paper, decorative arts, architectural renderings and models–some 450 works of art by more than 160 artists.

Exposure to this exhibition will certainly be a valuable experience for the students, who were chosen by their teachers because of their interest in art. The students are from Roman Catholic High School for Boys, John W. Hallahan High School for Girls, Kennedy-Kenrick Catholic High School, and West Catholic High School.
