Public educational programs will be on the agenda at the same time to provide the links between art, design, culture and the built environment. It will also be acting as a center where that heritage will be interpreted through research; the maintenance of documents, publications and artifact collections, and the development, and presentation of exhibits and installations both in national and international level. Therefore it will be a resource center open both of professionals, scholars, and the general public.”
