The property known as the Married Women’s Quarters at Vigie, was vested to the Saint Lucia National Trust for the purposes of establishing a national museum.
A round table consultation was recently held to kick-start planning for a national museum.
In Nov. 2015, the Government of Saint Lucia vested the property known as the Married Women’s Quarters at Vigie, to the Saint Lucia National Trust for the purposes of establishing a national museum and other ancillary purposes.
According to National Trust Director Mr. Bishnu Tulsie, the Trust invited key national stakeholders and overseas experts to examine the possibilities and challenges of the project.
“The goal of the round table was to solicit the views and recommendations of stakeholders and experts on charting a course of action to create a National Museum,” he said.
The round table assessed the project site and structures to recommend ideas and proposals for the physical development of the site to serve the intended purposes. It also sought recommendations for interpretation of the site and outfitting the museum and ancillary facilities. The participants also explored options to make recommendations for the financial sustainability of the museum and ancillary services.
The outcome of the consultation is expected to inform decisions on the way forward.
