These institutions are dedicated to the promotion of natural and cultural history. Where people have a quick perception of the site visited. Aida Liliana Morales Tejeda, head of the applied research department of the Union of Historians in Santiago de Cuba, told ACN on Thursday.

The innovative strategy uses resources such as exhibitions. Traveling exhibitions and new technologies to promote their values. Especially in spaces far from cities and are linked to natural parks, said the expert.

Unlike conventional museums, interpretation centers do not collect or study objects. But are dedicated to raising awareness of the preservation of riches, she stressed.

She pointed out that they also stimulate the use and consumption of the typical products of the area where it is located. Which provides added value to the local development of the population. And the creation of community and sociocultural activities.

She added that the conception of these places takes into account elements of modernity such as attractive typographies. Chronological tables and the realization of conferences for the attendees through didactic methods.

They also offer a modern conservation alternative, easily adaptable to any type of public. Moreover which can be carried out with fewer resources than traditional establishments. With the advantage of contributing to the formation of values.
