Museums in full swingThe Great Museum of the Mayan Culture of Mérida will take part in the festivity of the International Day of Museums observed on May 18th every year with music, theater, science, workshops, contests, talks and tours under three thematic axes like education, art and academia. From May 15th to 20th, the activities will take place in the museum with the participation of academic and artistic institutions.

 
The International Museum Day is synchronized by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). As per the director of the museum, the art historian Laura Ramírez Rasgado, over 30,000 museums across the globe honor this day. “The Great Museum of the Mayan World joins this global celebration and has invited public and private institutions to reflect on the role of museums in society,” said at a press conference.

 
From May 18 to 20th, there will be thematic tours at different times on the topics like “From language to imagination”, “Know your museum”, “La Milpa Maya” , “Xunáan Kaab, melipona bee”, and the workshop for children “Policromía Maya”.

 
Ramírez Rasgado highlighted that for the first time, young university students were being asked for a program called Agruparte, which will contribute to the Immersion to Documentary Film workshop given by the documentary maker Adriana Otero whose work “The value of the land” was added to the FilminLatino catalog of late, one of the crucial platforms for Mexican cinema.

 
“The intention is to invite the university community to propose topics of regional, cultural and environmental interest through documentary films and audiovisual productions. Immerse them in the world of cinema, know history and the goals that can be achieved from audiovisual projects and that everyone can capture their interests in a film” said the filmmaker.
