In memoriam

At 91, my uncle Bert Flint was making plans, working for his money and still collecting new objects. I could laugh with him until the last day of his life. Unfortunately, just after his death, the old museum building was severely damaged in the 2023 earthquake.

Knowing that he wanted his museum to continue it was a challenge to revive his story and exhibition. It is with great honour and deep emotion that I invite our visitors to a new chapter in his legacy. His life’s work has been thoughtfully brought to life once more, in a dedicated new space in the heart of the Medina
