| The
constant opening of the island to the world has always been a threat to
our traditional culture,and our etnographic heritage has been put at risk
due to the appearance of different cultures and lifestyles that have burst
into our environment. Jose' Ferrer Perdomo and his wife the painter Remedios
Quintana Reyes have founded this Museum.They have been collecting all kind
of objects and information for years in order to safeguard this legacy
of our ancestors
Its varied and many
etnographic elements let the visitor have a global vision of our history,characteristic
customs and traditions. The symbol " TANIT " is found engraved in a stone
of the Well de la Cruz,in San Marcial del Rubicón,Lanzarote,among
other geometris motifs and two reproductios of human feet. The symbol refers
to TANIT,Carthaginian Goddess,considered Goddess of Love,Luck and Fertility.In
the area around you can find an exibition hall,art gallery,garden ancient
joist press,chapel shop,cafeteria dance floor for traditional dancers...
THE ETNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM TANIT was opened on the 18th February.2000. |
