The Pitt Rivers Museum is a museum displaying the archaeological and anthropological collections of the University of Oxford in Oxford, England.[2] The museum is located to the east of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and can only be accessed through that building. The museum was founded in 1884 by Lt-General Augustus Pitt Rivers, who donated his collection to the University of Oxford with the condition that a permanent lecturer in anthropology must be appointed. Museum staff are involved in teaching Archaeology and Anthropology at the University even today.

The Pitt Rivers Museum is a museum displaying the archaeological and anthropological collections of the University of Oxford in Oxford, England.[2] The museum is located to the east of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and can only be accessed through that building. The museum was founded in 1884 by Lt-General Augustus Pitt Rivers, who donated his collection to the University of Oxford with the condition that a permanent lecturer in anthropology must be appointed. Museum staff are involved in teaching Archaeology and Anthropology at the University even today. The first Curator of the museum was Henry Balfour. A second stipulation in the Deed of Gift was that a building should be provided to house the collection and used for no other purpose. The University therefore engaged Thomas Manly Deane, son of Thomas Newenham Deane who, together with Benjamin Woodward, had designed and built the original Oxford University Museum of Natural History building three decades earlier, to create an adjoining building at the rear of the main building to house the collection. Construction started in 1885 and was completed in 1886.

En 1990 Diego Montero era un joven arquitecto porteño para quien Punta del Este había sido siempre un lugar de vacaciones y donde había empezado a hacer algunas obras dispersas desde el año 80. Casi todas pequeñísimas rusticas y elementales, pero con un sentido del lugar y del savoir vivre muy personal y característico que poco a poco fue ganando cultores y adeptos. Hoy, cuando ya hace más de 20 años desde que se instaló definitivamente con su familia en Manantiales, es prácticamente imposible hacer más de dos cuadras por esa angosta franja sobre el mar que va desde el puente de La Barra hasta Jose Ignacio sin cruzarse con alguna casa u obra suya. Y si bien es cierto que el mero aspecto cuantitativo es impresionante – desde el año 90 ha construido un promedio de entre diez y quince casas por año – tal vez sea más interesante aún el hecho de que muchas de sus obras (como el restorán Los Negros, en José Ignacio, o más reciententemente el hotel de Garzón, ambos de Francis Mallmann) hayan sido la piedra fundacional y el motor de arranque para desarrollos posteriores.

In 1990 Diego Montero was a young architect from Buenos Aires, for whom Punta del Este had always mostly a holiday destination. A place where he had built a handful of houses, with a very unique sense of place, that were slowly gathering a cult following. Now, more than 20 years after he decided to make that area his permanent residence, it's virtually impossible to walk for more than a couple of blocks, along that narrow strip between La Barra and Jose Ignacio, without bumping into one of his houses. Aside from the impressive volume of his output – he has bult an average of 10 houses a year over the last decade – it is perhaps more interesting that many of his projects (such as Los Negros restaurant, or more recently the Hotel Garzón, both for Francis Mallmann) have become stepping stones for developments to follow.
