Priceless Artwork Rescued from Rubble of Haitian Art Museum
NewsDepth: Wednesday, March 3, 2010
When Port-au-Prince's most prominent art museum collapsed during the January twelfth earthquake, a major part of Haiti's cultural history was buried in the rubble. With about fifteen thousand works, the Nader Art Museum housed one of the largest collections of Haitian native or primitive art. As soon as the earthquake struck, the gallery staff began the dangerous job of pulling the most valuable works of art from the debris. Last week, a Japanese contingent of U.N. military engineers pitched in to help. The damaged art work is being shipped to New York for restoration.
