International Museum Day, 2011!

Mme. SEKO, curator for the music museum, works on her exhibit.

In preparation for the upcoming Int'l Museum Day, May 18th, we've been working on setting up an exhibit at the local university. The theme for this year is "Museums and Memory." We'll be offering some plaques about the history of slavery in Benin, the history of music, and the history of tribal communication. Interesting stuff. We're working on preparing an "itinerant exhibit" that we can easily transport to schools and social gatherings to showcase what the museum has to offer.

Online Presence

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that this isn't the only blog I'm maintaining. Take a look at my other page, though you'll see that it's presently in French. Use google to translate the entire page if you want to see what we've been up to over at the music museum.

Museum of Music, Parakou

We've just started to set up our exhibit concerning ancient and modern communication methods among the various tribes in Benin. Pretty cool stuff! Anywho, enjoy. We're putting another blog for the Beninese Volunteer Corps active sometime this week, also.
