He commented that in some states, similar very important museums have closed permanently due to lack of resources. In others, they had to launch fundraising campaigns for citizens so as not to disappear.
We believe
“Here, we bet on the investment to have a first-world Science Center. And that is, because here we believe in our people and Explora deserves it; because Explora has been handled professionally and honestly, in addition to being an icon of our state,” he noted.
He said that in this 2022, Explora will be celebrating 28 years of being a symbol of the Guanajuato that we love: educated and promoter of knowledge.
