Museum Of Work & Culture Honors Rhode Island And The World Theme With New Audio Tours
(WOONSOCKET, R.I.) – The Museum of Work & Culture, a division of the Rhode Island Historical Society, is pleased to announce the launch of three new audio tours available at the museum beginning on July 1.
The launch of the new tours coincides with the Rhode Island Historical Society’s annual theme of Rhode Island in the World, intending to increase access to native speakers in our state and beyond, as well as those looking to learn a new language. The new audio tours are available in English, Spanish, and French, and are easily accessed through visitors’ smartphones.
Guests who choose the French audio tour will be led by Museum Director Anne Conway, a native of Quebec City.
“I am very excited that we are able to provide new tour offerings for all our visitors,” says Conway. “These audio tours are wonderful for not only our foreign visitors, but for anyone who wants to practice another language.”
The new audio tours are included with museum admission. Admission to the Museum is $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students. Children 10 and under are free, accompanied by a paid adult.
