Centro Nacional de Artesanato e Design (English: "National Center of Crafts and Design") is a museum in the city of Mindelo on the island of São Vicente in Cape Verde. It situated at the north end of Praça Nova in the city centre of Mindelo. It exhibits works of popular culture, design and crafts.[1]
History[]
The museum is housed in a colonial building that was originally built for Senator Vera Cruz at the end of the 19th century.[2] Between 1917 and 1921, it housed the Liceu Nacional.[2][3] In 1950, Rádio Barlavento was installed in the building. After the radio station moved in 1979,[citation needed] the building was transformed into the current museum. Renovation of the current museum building and construction of a new museum building attached to it have been announced for 2018.[4]
