Performances and exhibitions have been held in the inner courtyard and in the rooms on the upper floor of the former Botica since the beginning of the Festitim on the 14th, opportunities to enjoy with the family and in an environment of high historical and cultural value.
It is explained at https://icom.museum/es/dia-internacional-de-los-museos that every year since 1977, the objective of International Museum Day (IMD) is to raise awareness of the fact that museums are an important medium for cultural exchange, as well as for the development of mutual understanding, collaboration and peace among peoples.
Museums for Education and Research is the theme of this year’s IWD, underscoring the fundamental role of cultural institutions in providing a holistic educational experience and advocating for a more conscious, sustainable and inclusive world.
