When you visit the Berkshire Museum’s Festival of Trees scout out the 3rd Grade’s BCD tree. The circus themed event is a perennial crowd pleaser, and our Third Graders did a terrific job! While you are there, catch a glimpse of the Hudson River School paintings in the adjacent room, too. The Berkshire Museum has a fabulous little collection.

Go to this website and click on a few of the pictures that interest you. You will be treated to a short film about the artwork, the artist, and art history. The films were made by several different filmmakers, so they vary in style- which is also worth noting. Enjoy!
