ダバオ市にある、様々な動物の骨格標本を集めたザ・D・ボーン・コレクター・ミュージアム(The D’ Bone Collector museum)が、11月7日にフィリピン観光省の「注目の博物館トップ5」に選出された。
アメリカに生まれたものの、人生の大半をダバオで過ごしているという同館の館長Darrell Blatchley氏は、受賞後の11月14日に行われたインタビューで、「この賞を光栄に感じるとともに、今後もより良い博物館の創造を追求していく」と謙虚に答えた。
ミンダナオだけでも101、国内に1000以上あるとされる博物館のトップ5に輝いた同館は、2012年1月にオープンし、クマ、ライオン、牛、シカ、サル、ヘビ、クジラなどの骨格標本の展示数は3000に上る。また、Blatchley氏によると、さらに3000の標本を追加するため、9月より改装のため休館しており、来年1月より営業再開を予定しているとのことだ。
同氏はさらに、今後も改善を続けていき、フィリピン人の環境への関心を高めていきたいと語った。同博物館の詳細はこちら
Thank you for your continued support of Davao’s portal site “Davaotchi”. “Davaotchi” is an information portal about Davao that has been running for about seven and a half years since September 2016 with the aim of conveying the charms of Davao to Japanese people in Japanese and making them more aware of Davao. Thanks to everyone’s support, we have gained a certain amount of recognition, such as being featured in a magazine, and many people have started to hear the term “Dabaotchi”. On the other hand, we have prioritized the mission of conveying the charms of Davao to as many Japanese people as possible, so there is almost no profitability, and we have allocated the profits generated from other businesses to the site management, but we have no plans for the future. As a result of careful consideration of scalability and development, Davaotchi has decided to recruit supporters who can support Davaotchi in order to better manage the site. We considered charging for the site or introducing a subscription plan, but we wanted to deliver information about Davao to as many people as possible, so we decided to simply ask for support from Davaochi fans first. You can support us using PayPal or credit card (debit card) below. We look forward to your cooperation. See more news articles
