The initiative, promoted by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) under the theme 'Museums Uniting a Divided World,' will take place at Casa Lercaro and the Museum of Natural Sciences of Tenerife, part of the Museum of Nature and Archaeology (MUNA).
On May 19th and 21st, the Museum of Natural Sciences will open a selection of reserve pieces to the public, allowing visitors to discover significant items like the black devil fish (Melanocetus johnsonii), collected in the waters of Tenerife in February 2025, and various meteorites from the African continent.
Meanwhile, Casa Lercaro will offer guided tours titled 'Ordered Objects, Connected Worlds' on May 18th, 19th, 21st, and 22nd. These tours encourage reflection on how museum objects are classified and interpreted, granting access to usually restricted reserve areas.
Activities are free until capacity is reached, although prior registration is required for the Museum of Natural Sciences visit. Schedules and details are available on the Museos de Tenerife website.
The insular counselor for Culture, Museums, and Sports of the Cabildo de Tenerife, José Carlos Acha, highlighted that this program brings the island's "enormous scientific, historical, and cultural heritage" closer to the public, showcasing "spaces and pieces that usually remain hidden from public view."
Acha emphasized that museums serve as "places of encounter, reflection, and dialogue," capable of connecting different generations and sensibilities through knowledge and culture.
