With May 5 being observed as Arrival Day, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, yesterday hosted its annual Immigration Exhibition at the Guyana National Museum for the arrival of all ethnic groups.
Director of Culture, Dr. James Rose, said that while the Ministry is celebrating the arrival of Indians to Guyana, it is acknowledging all the various ethnic groups in Guyana.
“We recognize the contribution and the diverse nature of the society they together produce. We would want to encourage all Guyanese to recognize that each made a significant contribution to the Guyana in which we live today, and therefore we should respect each other and try to work in harmony.”
Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, said that every year the Ministry hosts a comprehensive arrival exhibition.
This year, the exhibition will run for two weeks at the Museum and comprises replicas of traditional living accommodations, attires, and utensils among others of the various ethnic groups.
The exhibition will be accessible to members of the public and arrangements are being put in place so that students may also benefit.
Minister Anthony noted that similar exhibitions would be held at Tain Campus, Berbice, Linden Museum of Socio-Cultural Heritage, and Anna Regina.
