Belize get free entrance to museum during September

There will be plenty to see and take part in during the celebrations of Belize’s twenty nine years of Independence. Favourite events include the Carnival Road March and the Citizen’s Parade.  It is a time of year that all Belizeans across the diaspora return home and what better way to treat them than with a free guided tour of the Museum of Belize. That’s right, the museum is offering free entrance and tours to all Belizeans during the celebrations. The museum’s research and education officer told us more.
