It's not just a Field Trip, It's a MAS Field Trip!

We offer a diverse selection of programs that focus on STEAM Learning and support the Georgia Standards of Excellence. Just as steam rises when it’s produced and can be used as a lifting gas in a balloon, the addition of the creative thinking engendered by the arts to the STEM curriculum can lift our students to greater academic and career achievement. As it has for over 65 years, the Museum of Arts and Sciences designs student activities and selects exhibits that incorporate the arts into combinations of the STEM concepts to make STE+aM. The Museum of Arts and Sciences (MAS) offers curated experiences that go beyond a normal field trip tour. With a Planetarium, Georgia’s only NOAA Science on a Sphere®,  Mini-Zoo, Nature Trail and a multi-million-dollar art collection, the MAS is one of the finest nationally accredited institutions in the South. Field trips are available August-May on Tuesdays-Fridays.
