ARTISTIC AND ARCHITECTURAL VALUE
The researcher—who holds a master’s degree in Architectural Design and served as director of the National School of Visual Arts from 1988 to 1989—shared his insights into the works that make up the museum’s collection, emphasizing their historical, social, and cultural contexts.
The pieces on display include drawings, paintings, sculptures, and works created using techniques such as collage. These works explore scenes from daily life, social class disparities, and events linked to the Revolution and other significant moments in Nicaraguan history.
