Museum Partnership Between Mayor Carmen Devila & France

Museum details from French Embassy:(Check link below for more info.)

"This site presents, in addition, an archaeological inheritance of a great value within a natural and forest framework preserved. These wealths of art précolombien present at the access of the village could, if they were exploited, give fresh impulse to the economic development of Sebaco-Chaguitillo. It is accordingly that the Committee Vaudais d' Amitié and of Solidarity with Sebaco and Nicaraguayenne Association for the Development of Chaguitillo launched out since 2002 and with the financial assistance of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the Municipality of Vaulx-in-Velin and of the French Popular Help (Area the Rhone the Alps) in the financing and the construction of a museum of art précolombien in Chaguitillo.

"Not only will new infrastructure create jobs in Chaguitillo but it will also allow the development of tourism, registering the visit of the museum in a total tourist tour of the area. " [French Ambassador to Nicaragua]
