Working at a Museum Hello, everyone. Today I would like to tell you about the last three days, during which I have been working at our local museum of visual arts. This year's World Cup is held here in Russia, and the English proficiency of the local people is quite low, to be honest. Most people coming from abroad tell us that it is very inconvenient that they cannot communicate with anyone here. My friend and I were among the people who volunteered to work as translators for non-Russian visitors. It is a great opportunity to talk to a lot of interesting people. Speaking of our job itself, it originally was to greet people who do not speak Russian, guide them through the rooms, and translate things for them if they ask questions; but then we started doing simple tours so that they can get at least something about the exhibitions and their showpieces. So far we have met people from Denmark, Australia, Uruguay, Israel, and a lot of other countries! All of them were really friendly and pretty interested in the paintings, most of them. The most popular exhibition o the museum turned out to be, unsurprisingly, Russian Art. Though some visitors were not interested in it at all and preferred to see something fresh and modern, such as Illustration by Local Artists and things like that. I will cut it at this point so it is not too long. Thank you for reading if you made it here, and please leave a comment about this piece. Have a nice day!
