Week Eight
Due to some transportation issues (i.e. my car breaking down) I was unable to work on the statues during the week, however, I managed to fix the issue by the time of our Maslenitsa celebration here at the museum! It went very well, everyone had a great time learning about the holiday and certainly they all enjoyed the bliny Rachel made. Overall the celebration was a hit, we had somewhere around 200 unique visitors who were very receptive to the presentations (troika dancers and Russian holy art lecture) and activity stations (bliny, lady maslenitsa doll assembly, etc.). I think our visitors leaned a lot about Russian culture on that day, and the Russians present were great about discussing their cultures which allowed me to learn even more about the holiday and its significance.
