The Trinidad and Tobago launch took place at Zum-Zum Museum (@zumzummuseumtt, zumzummuseum.com) – the only local museum designed especially for children, on Friday, August 26, 2022 in front of a crowd of smiling faces.
Founder and curator of Zum-Zum Museum, Sonja Dumas, was delighted with the turnout and the children’s response. “This is just what Zum-Zum is about – engaging children’s imagination while endorsing our beautiful Caribbean culture”, she said.
