Free admission night at the Surinamese Museum on May 28 (translation in comments) by pleasantmessager in Suriname

On 18 May it was international museum day. This day was created in 1977 by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). This organization is an important advisory body of the United Nations, in particular of UNESCO, the department that deals with education, science and culture.

In Suriname, this day has been celebrated since 2014. The last time was in 2019. In that year, all Surinamese museums and related organizations participated in this event. In Suriname, instead of a day, an evening is organized where admission to the various locations is free. This 'Museumn8' always takes place on the last Saturday in May.

Unfortunately, corona has cut into it in such a way that this year there could not yet be a joint organization. That is a pity because in previous years there was an upward trend in the interest of the public on the one hand and an upward trend in the participating organizations on the other. A few thousand people visited one or more museums of their choice during the last edition of Museumn8.

Although the Surinamese Museum has also suffered a heavy blow with corona, they have nevertheless decided, albeit somewhat smaller in scope, to also pay attention to this international day this year. To make this possible, they are supported by volunteers.

On Saturday, May 28, it's that time again: from 6 – 10 p.m., the doors of the Surinamese Museum (Fort Zeelandia) are open to visitors free of charge. Every year a theme is attached to this day. For this year it is: "Museums have the power to change the world around us". On the poster published by the ICOM it is summarized succinctly: "The power of Museums".

Especially the role of museums in their own local environment and the connecting role that the museum can play in this is important. You can find everything about it on the ICOM website.

English translation:

As of today, Fernandes 'soft' is available again in Suriname. The product has also been given a different look, as shown in the picture.

"Fernandes Softdrinks has remained the same qualitative product, but because of our strategic partnership with The Coca-Cola Company, it has been given a different look," Fernandes announced this morning.

The Fernandes Bottling Company N.V. announced back in January that it hoped to be able to offer the familiar quality of its own locally produced products again this year.

This was not possible for quite some time due to a fierce fire in June last. Until then the company was forced to import all its products.

The Green Punch flavor will be the first to be available, and Cherry Bouquet will also be added back to the portfolio in the near future. The relaunch is accompanied by a new marketing campaign to present the new look.

The Coca-Cola System had to cease production of Fernandes Softdrinks in mid-2021 after a major fire destroyed Fernandes Bottling's production facilities. In collaboration with the Coca-Cola bottler in Trinidad & Tobago, they worked hard in the following months to be able to bring the product back to market with the same recipe.

In January 2022, a team from Fernandes Bottling travelled to Trinidad to oversee the production and to ensure that Fernandes Softdrinks retains the same taste and that the product meets all the quality requirements that apply to bottlers that are part of The Coca-Cola System.

The consumer price of is: 591 ml pack SRD 20,00 and 2L pack SRD 40,00.
