One of the objectives of the Museo Virtual de Artes El País (MUVA) is to showcase the Uruguayan identity as it is expressed in the visual arts. The genre, especially when addressing female art, constitutes one of the fundamental themes of identity. The museum is organizing a series of exhibitions in 2001 featuring the visual production of Uruguayan women.
