HAVANA, May 8 (Lucas Garve, CPI / www.cubanet.org) - Nine museums, seven
libraries and several cultural centers have been closed indefinitely due to lack
of operating funds.
In Guanabacoa, for instance, across the bay form Havana, the museum, the
municipal library and the Juan Arrondo cultural center have closed
because the buildings housing them need repairs, said a reliable source.
Government investment in sports and culture amounts to more than three
percent of total investment. The closings, however, contrast with the governments
propaganda claims regarding its attention to culture.
