The Kimbell Art Museum will host the FWISD Foreign Language Department for Global Gallery Night on Friday, October 21, from 6 to 8 p.m. FWISD foreign language students will become Global Gallery Night tour guides at the Kimbell Art Museum, and will share (in English) mini-presentations about Kimbell artworks related to their foreign language studies.
