In Ica there are cultural activities also

In May 2010 the Regional Museum of Ica was
making propaganda for three events:

the museums, 8:30 am to 6:30 pm
Saturday 22 May 2010, workshops for
children with painting, ceramics and
weaving, 8:30 am to 5 pm
Friday 28 May 2010, exhibition with arts
and biodiversity, Peruvian flowers and
fruits, and a watercolor exhibition of
Olivia Watkin.
And all these events were with free
entrance ("ingreso libre").

Entrance
area before the museum with the entrance gate and
the wall 02
The
entrance into the court yard was tree-lined. The
honking noise of the avenue one cannot see, but
there are two painted figures of gods at the
entrance gate.

Painting with a god at the left side

Painting with a god at the right side

Unfortunately
these two figures of gods could not be found in
the museum itself. It seems they are
combinations of men and birds, as it is often
the case in the world of the gods.

Information
board indicating the obligatory identification
In Peru every museum visitor is registered with
his identity card or passport.
And then it was calm in the yard and one could see
the building of the museum.

Notice
board with more indications
At the notice board some actual matters had been
posted.
|
|
|
|
There was an article about
churches in Ica which had been turned into
traps for men
Since the earthquake of
2007 in the regions of Ica and Pisco
some churches are blocked because they
are a danger for visitors. Some of them
are destroyed completely or had to be
destroyed and are waiting for
reconstruction. Well, perhaps human
rights buildings would be better showing
and instructing the Peruvians humanity
and responsibility which many don't feel
yet at all.

a humanity is our eternal ore.
