Slew of cultural programs offered to schools this year

Slew of cultural programs offered to schools this year By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter The nation’s arts and cultural organizations, as well as staff and venues, are offering a total of 149 cultural experience programs to schools this year, the Ministry of Culture said yesterday. The programs are part of the culture ministry and the Ministry of Education’s efforts to promote education through cultural experiences, the culture ministry said in a statement. To encourage schools to take their students on trips to arts and cultural venues, many activities are being offered for schools to choose from, it said. For example, the Museum of Archaeology in Tainan is offering a program that would enable students to learn about the artifacts in the museum’s collection and give them an opportunity to experience cleaning and photographing cultural relics, and making boxes in which to preserve them, the culture ministry said.

Pennsylvania museum apologizes for collecting skulls of Black Americans

By Christopher Brito April 13, 2021 / 5:11 PM / CBS News A museum in Philadelphia apologized on Monday for collecting the skulls of Black Americans and vowed to return them to their respective communities. Dr. Christopher Woods, the director of the Penn Museum, expressed regret in a statement on behalf of the museum and the University of Pennsylvania of Archaeology and Anthropology for the unethical possession of human remains.   It is time for these individuals to be returned to their ancestral communities, wherever possible, as a step toward atonement and repair for the racist and colonial practices that were integral to the formation of these collections, Woods said. He also said they will reassess their practices of collecting, stewarding, displaying and researching humans.
