Dear Friends,
On 24 July, a plaque was unveiled at Villa Ocampo by UNESCO to thank the Association of Friends of Villa Ocampo for the comprehensive restoration of Manuel’s Room and the Shop.
The ceremony was attended by Ernesto Polcuch, Director of the UNESCO Regional Office based in Montevideo; Marta Alvarez Molindi, President of the Association of Friends of Villa Ocampo; the Association’s Board of Directors; Ernesto Montequin from the Villa Ocampo Documentation Centre; the restorer, Daniel Suarez; and staff from the House and the Association.
We would like to thank our Friends, whose support made this possible.
Attached are some photos of the event.
We will continue working to preserve Villa Ocampo and the legacy of Victoria Ocampo.
We are counting on you!
