In this 2025, the Visual Arts Museum of the Municipality of Concordia is celebrating its first 60 years and for this reason, it is preparing an exhibition that will include 60 works by 60 artists who have donated their work and are part of the city's rich cultural heritage.
On September 17, 1965, through Ordinance 16,069, the MAV began a great journey that reaches our days with an asset of more than 600 works, from which, after a selection process, 60 of them have been chosen so that from the first days of March the community can reunite, learn about, and enjoy them.
Hugo Musser, Director of the MAV, pointed out that “we have started 2025 with great enthusiasm because it was one of the first cultural institutions in the city and it is celebrating nothing more and nothing less than 60 years,” which is why, since the end of last year, they have been working with the Undersecretariat of Culture “to do something impactful to show society how the museum has evolved and how the collection has grown.”
Emblematic works will be part of it, “such as the first one the museum had, which we all know, 'Woman in the Storm' by Fernández Navarro, and the latest one that has entered through the National Bicentennial Salon last year. It will be a correlation between the past and the present.”
Musser recalled that the MAV possesses more than 600 works in its collection, so “it was quite a task to select 60, which took us quite some time. The curation, in any case, was done through the archives we have, which are very well organized, with images of the works.”
Regarding the opening date of the exhibition, the Director of the Visual Arts Museum indicated that although it is not yet determined, it is planned for the first fortnight of March and will be open to the public until the middle of the year, which is when the Bicentennial Salon is held, which this year will be dedicated to the discipline of drawing.
