EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES FOR ADULTS

Theory and practise are combined in adult courses offering tuition in the traditional techniques of icon painting and working in gold and silver.

Seminars and educational tours are organised on a regular basis for teachers and educationalists. Their aim is to familiarize them with the content of the permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as to prepare them for independent visits to the Museum by suggesting different approaches. Seminars in museum education are also organised for students.
