 Significant Occurrences©Turks and Caicos National MuseumFor 1952-1962 an image showing a salt raker was selected, for 1962 to 1972 the arrival of the Mercury capsule was selected (both of these images came from the Ted Philiponna collection), for 1972 to 1982 the Legislative Chamber was chosen to represent the introduction of ministerial government (photograph taken by the Museum) and for 1982-1992 a map of the Turks and Caicos Islands was chosen to represent the Quincentennial of Columbus’ landfall. However, the most important of this series is for 1992-2002 as it shows the Turks and Caicos National Museum, and represents the great work the Museum has done in protecting, promoting and developing the country’s History during its first decade.
