Ask for language availability at pickup; popular languages are commonly supported on the audio tour. Printed summaries appear in select galleries, and staff can guide you to translated resources.


Tips

  • Confirm available languages at the audio counter.
  • Ask for printed summaries for key galleries.
  • For research, staff and volunteers can point to multilingual portals and reference materials.

Bring names in original and Anglicized forms — it speeds up help.
