Language Tour Series | Russian-Speaking Tour with Natalie Velez featuring Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist 

Русский: Приглашаем вас в Музей Изобразительных Искусств (MFA) на новую серию экскурсий на иностранных языках! Каждое третье воскресенье месяца в 14:00 экскурсовод музея проводит обзорную экскурсию на языке, отличном от английского. Эти экскурсии — прекрасная возможность: ближе познакомиться с коллекцией музея, встретить единомышленников, улучшить знание изучаемого вами языка. Участие в экскурсии включено в стоимость входного билета, но предварительная регистрация обязательна, так как количество мест ограничено. Заинтересованы в экскурсии, но не можете прийти в эту дату? Музей изобразительных искусств (MFA) также предлагает экскурсии на русском, испанском, португальском и немецком языках по запросу. По всем вопросам и для записи пишите нам на: tours@mfastpete.org.
