The Museum of the Garden will dedicate the month of October to the world of the ditches with a wide program that includes exhibitions, guided visits to the Aqueduct and the Museum of the Garden, workshops for the whole family, gatherings and conferences on the culture of the water.
The activities began yesterday with the inauguration of the Assáqya exhibition, by photographer Frédéric Volkringer, curated by Elena Fuentes.
Assáqya shows 23 photographs where the photographer of French origin and based in Murcia, collects his particular vision of the ditches, the garden and the water reflected through the unique landscape.
The ditches in the sample belong to Era Alta and San Ginés and show the beauty of the garden landscape.
The mayor of Alcantarilla, Joaquín Buendía, highlighted "the importance of preserving the traditional landscape and of valuing the natural heritage of the Murcia orchard in environments such as where we are."
He added that "one of the most recognized symbols of the garden and water is our Ferris Wheel and Aqueduct, which are traditional systems that have endured for centuries."
The presentation was also the Councilor for Education, Culture and Youth, Marina Lorenzo.
This exhibition, provided by the City of Murcia, can be visited until October 31.
