Lecture by the American historian, professor of Slavic studies, writer William Broomfield Automatic translate

March 30 at 18:30 in the Perm Gallery at the exhibition of wooden sculpture, William Broomfield will give a lecture "Features of wooden architecture through the eyes of an American scientist."

The lecture will focus on the artistic interpretation of the wooden architecture of the Russian north.

You will have a rare opportunity to get acquainted with the view of a person of a different culture on what is often underestimated and undeservedly forgotten by us - wooden monuments of church and civil architecture of Russia.
