More than 500 attendees at the presentation of Museo Universidad de Navarra in Madrid
The rector, Ángel J. Gómez Montoro, intervened in the presentation together with the director of the Museum, Miguel López Remiro, and the architect Rafael Moneo.
"We are building a museum at the University of Navarra because you have encouraged us to do so", said Ángel Gómez Montoro to the more than 500 people attending the presentation ceremony of the Museum of the University of Navarra that took place in Madrid, at the Prado Museum on the same day as the start of the ARCO 2012 Fair.
The event, which was presented by Elisa Montserrat (Director of Communications at the Museum) and Jaime García del Barrio (Director General of the Culture and Society Institute), featured three distinguished speakers: Ángel José Gómez Montoro, Rector of the University of Navarra, Miguel López-Remiro, Director of the Museum, and Rafael Moneo, the project's architect.
The rector made a tour of the history of the Museum project and explained how the impulse of Mª Josefa Huarte -one of the people who donated her private collection- has been decisive to start projecting this dream.
