Liberia’s National Museum is scheduled to be reopened tomorrow, according to the Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism (MICAT). The museum is housed in one of the nation’s oldest buildings in Monrovia erected in 1843, four years before Liberia’s declaration of independence. The three floors of exhibitions collectively entitled ‘Waves of Time,’ explore the ebb and flow of Liberia’s history, cultures, peoples and artistic expressions. President Sirleaf made the reopening of the museum a priority to support the nation’s healing efforts. She was the founding director of the Ritz Theater and Museum in Jacksonville, Florida (USA), the city’s 35,000 square foot museum and theater of African American history and culture.
