Holguin encourages project for safeguarding museum objects

A project aimed at safeguarding museum objects is being developed by heritage specialists in the province of Holguin as part of the historic memory preservation programs prioritized in Cuba.

Rosabel Reyes, a specialist in this field, told the Cuban News Agency that the main objective is to validate the state of the collections and promote restoration strategies, exhibition and promotion of their values.

The initiative includes La Periquera Provincial History Museum, the Calixto Garcia’s Birth House and the Historical Archive’s collections, which are essential to understand Cuba’s colonial period and its impact on the economy, politics and society of the Caribbean archipelago, she said.

She said that the researches contain references to dates, origin, discovery, among other necessary aspects in the valuation of the pieces exhibited to the public through thematic exhibitions or guided visits.

It also includes the work with the schools and the children of the community through educational talks and presentation of audiovisual materials that contribute to the formation of values and to cement the knowledge about this branch of science.

Holguín has more than 200 monuments and historical sites in which work is being done, in addition to their preservation and maintenance of exterior areas, in the links with institutions and organisms to perpetuate their imprint in time and bequeath them to new generations.
