Museums a tool to discover, share cultures – Anthony

Museums should be seen as more than just a storehouse for artefacts but as a bridge from the past to present, Culture Minister Dr Frank Anthony said in his address at the recent Commonwealth Museums Conference at the Umana Yana.

According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) press release the conference attracted participants from the Commonwealth Association of Museums (CAM), Africa, Canada and the United Kingdom and is being held under the theme “Museums in Diversity.” Those in attendance included Vice Chancellor Emeritus of the University of the West Indies Dr Rex Nettleford, and President of CAM Martin Segar.
