THE Carnival Museum has closed its doors to members of the public, citing a lack of Government funding.

Its chairman, Kenny Attai, made the disclosure yesterday in a phone interview with the Express, stressing that the museum, located at the corner of Duke and Charlotte Streets, Port of Spain, had not shut down.

He explained: “We’re closed to the public because we don’t have any funding to put on any new exhibitions.”
