Museum

Long considered as an exclusive place for the conservation of cultural objects, the museum should today, be an instrument for understanding the history of a people. Its educational mission should increasingly be highlighted because it is complementary to historical study. Its interactive role should be reaffirmed to attract the youth. And, it is because the museum will be at the service of development of national and local communities, that it will open its doors to the populations whose testimonies and vestiges it preserves and develops.

UNESCO’s support deals with the enumeration of the museums and the ethical dimension of their objects.
