The Nevsky MUN Cultural Experience

The Cultural Experience

As a part of our NevskyMUN conference, we want to make sure that you have seen and experienced the splendor of St. Petersburg.  It is our mission to create a cultural program for you that goes beyond your experience of modern Russia in your daily interactions with Gymnasium 2 students and joint activities, a cultural program that leads you into Russia’s glorious past.  We want you to dine like a prince in a palace, see for yourself where the monarchs used to reside, enjoy exquisite artwork, eat local specialties, and compare a more rural folk dance performance with the perfected precision of a ballet.
