The National Museum Foundation (FNM) and the Solar Energy and New Energy Research Institute (IRESEN) signed, Monday in Rabat, two co-operation agreements.
The co-operation between the two bodies takes the form of a framework partnership agreement and of a specific agreement for the installation of solar panels at the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMVI).
The two agreements were signed by the president of the FNM, Mehdi Qotbi, the IRESEN Director-General, Badr Ikken, and the Director of the Green Energy Park (GEP), Zakaria Naimi.
The MMVI is going green, Qotbi told MAP on the sidelines of the signing ceremony. This ecological approach is “a contribution of culture to save the planet,” he said, stressing that the MMVI will be the first museum in Africa to be equipped with solar energy. “It is a gesture of respect for the environment,” Qotbi went on.
For his part, IRESEN Director-General welcomed the signing of these two agreements, noting that the objective is to develop innovative solutions for the benefit of the Kingdom’s museums.
The integration of different energy solutions “will turn the MMVI museum, which is already magnificent, into an even more unique institution that integrates technological solutions,” he added.
Within the framework of this partnership, we will be able to develop a solution that could be duplicated in other museums in the Kingdom,” Ikken concluded.
