TEMPUS FUGIT!!!
In the days of yore, particularly in the 1980s, when Miss Joyce Aryee was PNDC secretary for information and Professor Ibn Ben Abdallah was Chairman of National Commission on culture, there was so much perfect corperation between the two that the hottest place in Accra every week end was the Arts Center.
Talents Theatre, led by Kofi Portuphy with Ernest Youngmann by his side, Audience Awareness led by Evans Hunter and several other groups, including Legon Abibigromma – they were churning out knock out theatre productions with unstoppable regularity.
In those days National Theatre had not been built, Novotel was yet to blaze the trailof five star hotels, and every week end the scene of action was the Arts Center.

Monroe Museum makes history relevant
The Monroe News
History matters. History is relevant. When the Pew Research Center conducts a study on trusted institutions, museums always rank a close second behind libraries - a tremendous responsibility for museums. Though history is about the past, it was never intended for those who have passed. It is about our lived experience, about our connections, about our story to inspire a better future.
Large and small, in cities and rural locations, museums are helping to strengthen communities and contribute to not only quality of life enhancements and place-making, but heritage tourism. Additionally, cultural institutions are working to foster thoughtful discussions and dialogue about what’s important in their communities. Museums have great capacity to help people make sense of the past to navigate the future.
