Learning to Think Like an Archaeologist at UChicago’s Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures reposted by Ruth Paget
I absolutely would have taken a course like this one below where I could handle ancient objects and conjure up civilizations from pottery shards at the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures at the University of Chicago when I was a student there.
(I was not deprived of experiences like this though. When I studied Indian art, my art history professor took us to the Art Institute of Chicago for a private session with museum curators to examine and even handle Indian paintings.)

Chicago River Boat Architecture Tours reposted by Ruth Paget
One of the my favorite Orientation Week activities at the University of Chicago was going on an architectural history bus tour downtown. The Chicago Architectural Center organizes bus tours for tourists now:
https://www.architecture.org/city-tours/Architectural-highlights-by-bus
When I graduated and began to work at EY, I went on the pricier architectural boat tour below and saw another perspective of Chicago’s towering skyscrapers:
I think being a tour guide for these two organizations would be fun weekend and summer gig work for art history majors.
Note: There is a direct flight now between Monterey, California and Chicago, Illinois on United Airlines.
