?This collection is twenty-five works of art, ten oils and engravings, made especially for Ecuador. The collection was in Quito and before they return to Mexico, they present in Belize.?

The exhibition will run until the end of the month…but the Mexican embassy promises more of the same later this year.

?We have five more exhibitions. The most important is in October, we have a collection of photos of Tina Mogote. It?s an Italian but she lives in Mexico for many years. It?s a very important collection. It will be in Belize in October at the Mexican Cultural Institute and maybe in Belmopan. It?s the most important exhibition.?
