From Community Crafts and Culture - University of St Andrews partner Museo Nacional Costa Rica

🧑Muchas veces visitamos museos y pensamos que estos son creados por los gobiernos nacionales o locales. 👩‍🦳Esto no es tan cierto, si bien muchos museos son administrados por autoridades e instituciones gubernamentales, Costa Rica cuenta con museos regionales cuya concepción, producción y administración estuvo y está en manos de la organización comunal.👨‍🦱
Desde el Programa de Museos Regionales y Comunitarios del Museo Nacional (PMRC), asesoramos y acompañamos ese proceso.👵🧔
