The Children’s Museum of Caracas, inaugurated in 1982 as the first of its kind in Latin America, launched a fundraising campaign. With this they hope to reopen their doors, closed since 2020, the institution reported this Saturday.

“This year the museum celebrates its 40th anniversary and needs everyone’s help to enjoy this incredible experience again. To reopen our doors, we have created an alliance (…) to collect funds through the sale of our souvenirs. This was indicated by a message posted on the profile of Twitter from the museum.

The campaign, they explain on the same social network, started this week and will run until August 1.

The institution, an icon of learning about science and technology for the children of the country, invites citizens to buy these souvenirs in a Caracas establishment. In addition, it accepts private donations that help the objective of reopening these spaces.

The head of the museum’s education unit, Darwin Sánchez, explained to EFE that the place has been closed since March 2020, when the authorities decreed confinement due to the covid-19. Now they hope to raise “sufficient funds” to make the necessary arrangements and prepare new exhibits.

Although the mobility restrictions due to the pandemic were lifted, the institution was unable to reopen its doors, since it had already been in crisis for years, with few resources and the loss of some spaces due to the theft of electrical installations.

The museum, which has received more than five million curious little ones since its opening, will celebrate 40 years of operations on August 7.
