Dear people,

Four years ago I bought at an auction after the Olympic Games in London 2012, some memorabilia, like flag and placard sign, from the opening ceremony, from my own country Croatia and and also Nicaragua, as I was impressed with the natural beauty and people of Nicaragua, which I visited a few months previously.
I paid about $1.300 for the Nicaraguan items with aim to donate to a museum, or Olympic Commitee etc. I have sent about 10 emails to various organisation in the country but never received any reply. Any advice what to do with the items, and would this original memorabilia be appreciated there?

Nicas are fiercely nationalistic, someone will want the items. Contact Dr. Geoff McCafferty of Mi Museo in Granada. They have a website, are listed on tripadvisor,com and his is on facebook. He is in town right now, he teaches at the university of Calgary, and runs the museum in Granada. He is a member of the expats of Granada facebook page.
There are dozens of small, local museums all over the country but they probably don't do email. The one in Juigalpa has many items just like what you mention, but I think you would have to be in country and visit the museums.
