Enriquecimiento del Museo Nacional

Abstract

The image contains news about the Enrichment of the National Museum, a circular issued by the Executive Branch of the United States of Colombia on September 2, 1881. In this communication, state governments are urged to collaborate in the reconstitution and enrichment of the National Museum, which had suffered significant losses due to administrative negligence and political instability. The importance of recovering and increasing the museum's collections is highlighted, specifically requesting objects from archaeology, numismatics, physical and natural sciences, as well as fine arts, which can be sent by national mail or special drivers. The circular highlights the priority in collecting objects that represent pre-Columbian races and civilizations, the colonial period and national history, excluding civil wars and focusing on independence.
