As the Haitian Heritage Museum approaches it’s 10th birthday this coming January, it is appropriate to reflect on the epic journey of creating the 1st Haitian Heritage Museum in the world outside of Haiti. The museum’s founder & co-founder, Eveline Pierre & Serge Rodriguez, were motivated to embark on this journey to cultivate a flourishing cultural mecca in the heart of the Haitian community.
Their goal was to promote and foster the historical contributions of the Haitian people through Art, Cultural Programming and Education.
Since the inception of the Haitian Heritage Museum almost a decade ago during Haiti’s bicentennial anniversary, both Eveline & Serge have dedicated their lives to creating a lasting legacy by way of the museum’s educational programs:
Museum Magnet & Ayiti Expose, researching & archiving historical Haitian art & artifacts through digitization and partaking in culturally relevant programming while building lasting partnerships. Now with almost a decade under their belts, the Haitian Heritage Museum is looking forward to many more decades of securing this legacy for generations to come.
