FRIENDS Exclusive: Behind the Scenes at The Museum of Russian Art
Join FRIENDS for a private, curator-led morning at The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA). Curator Maria Zavialova, PhD, will guide our small group through the fascinating main gallery exhibition, Spies and Space: Cold War Artifacts from Both Sides of the Iron Curtain. Following the tour, attendees will be granted rare, behind-the-scenes access to a Private Art Storage Area for an intimate look at the artwork not currently on public display.
The tour is complimentary for FRIENDS members and will begin promptly at 10:15 AM. Following the museum experience, members are invited to continue the conversation at a self-pay lunch at Heather’s Restaurant (5201 Chicago Avenue) at 12:00 PM.
Space is extremely limited to 15 attendees, so make sure to RSVP early.
Tour begins promptly at 10:15 AM | Optional lunch at 12:00 PM
