Personal Guided Tour of the Rufino Tamayo Museum of Pre-Hispanic Art
Led by Janet Stanley
(long-time Oaxaca resident)
4th Friday of every month 
5 - 6:30 PM
Located in a 17th-century building, the collection, donated by Rufino Ramayo, focuses on the aesthetic qualities of ancient artifacts and traces artistic developments in pre-conquest times. It has some truly beautiful pieces and is strong on the pre-Classic era and lesser-known civilizations such as those of Veracruz and western Mexico.  There’s so much more to know about what you’re seeing than what is on the labels -- and Janet knows!
Meet in front of Museum (Morelos 503)
Tour:  100 pesos (Please register & pay in advance at OLL)
Museum admission:  35 pesos (pay at museum)

Introduction to Oaxaca
Every Monday at 11 AM 
(resuming May 21)     FREE
Stan Gotlieb has been living in Oaxaca for almost 20 years.  Along with his partner, the photographer Diana Ricci, he produces the "Oaxaca / Mexico Newsletter".  His "Orientation to Oaxaca" sessions began at the Library in 1996, and are still being held privately today, by appointment only. See http://www.realoaxaca.com/orient.html for details.  

Stan has agreed to bring his somes quirky expertise and experience - and his phonebook - back to the Library every Monday at 11:00 a.m.  Bring your own questions, because there is no pre-set lecture: just a freeform interchange. To read some Newsletters and stories, and get a better idea of what to expect, go to http://www.realoaxaca.com.http://www.realoaxaca.com/orient.htmlhttp://www.realoaxaca.com/orient.htmlhttp://www.realoaxaca.comshapeimage_4_link_0shapeimage_4_link_1shapeimage_4_link_2
