Sencillamente felicitarlos a todo el personal q trabaja en el Museo, afortunadamente las veces q lo hemos visitado ha sido d un gran aprendizaje y los alumnos(as) se identifican màs con nuestras raìces y a la vez estamos impulsando el amor por el arte, y toda la Comunidad Educativa hemos disfrutado d la visita y el recorrido q tan gentilmente comenta el coordinador.
Que lindo:comparado a los museos afuera de El Salvador, no tiene realmente mucho que envidiar. No conosco personalmente, pero por lo que puedo observar a travez de la red, solo queda desear que se extiendan, Here in Los Angeles, Museum no different as far as I understand I have, that is called by El Salvador. And I think very appropriate comment of Ms. Jacqueline Barrientos, because unfortunately, many people never in his life come to visit a museum, either economics, or ignorance. Was in adult, visiting a museum when attending school, and has left its mark, those memories in them, not only the knowledge, but in your memories. Good thing this museum supports 100% schools, the boys (who are the future of the country) and the marvelous work that teachers do heart. THANKS.
