Recently confirmed to face a new five-year term at the head of the National Museum of Fine Arts, architect Andrés Duprat spoke with Télam about the upcoming initiatives on which his new mandate will focus, which include a new curatorial script for the permanent collection , an imminent agreement with the Thyssen Museum in Spain, the progress of the Paseo de Esculturas that has already begun to be built and a new headquarters for reservations that will operate on a property located in the Congreso neighborhood. After eight years of directing the Fine Arts, Duprat will continue for another five years at the head of the most important cultural institution in the country - in line with the main museums in the world where executive directorates usually last for decades to give continuity to management objectives. -, which will allow progress in the plans to move the reserve to a new building to be built in the Congreso neighborhood, the expansion and connection of the main Libertador building with the Friends Association, including the Sculpture Walk, and a new curatorial script for the permanent collection, a replacement that has not happened since 2015.
