The private and family collection was founded by Ana Chávez Ortiz and Ana Prieto Chávez, daughter and granddaughter of Master Carlos Chávez, respectively. The Collection was formed to promote and disseminate his father's musical legacy so that scholars from various areas would have access to materials that, although of a personal nature, do not correspond to public archives.
Over the years, the Collection has been directed by the author's heirs; currently, it is represented by Jana Angulo Prieto, the composer's great-granddaughter.
As part of their activities, together with their work team, they have taken on the task of collecting existing material related to the works of Carlos Chávez, classifying it and systematizing its use to form a virtual archive that, subsequently, is susceptible to consultation for anyone interested in studying the life and work of Carlos Chávez.
To do this, we work cooperatively with experts from other areas of culture.
For the above reasons, it is crucial for the Carlos Chávez Ramírez Private Collection to be in contact with those who work to disseminate music, documentary repositories, and museum activities.
The intention is that they know the materials that the family safeguards for their exploration, consultation, and incorporation into their academic research.

The Ponce Kurczyn Collection is a private collection of modern and contemporary Latin American art, founded by Luis Ponce Grande and Luis Ponce Kurczyn, in an effort to bring the art of our country closer to childhood, youth and art students. The collection is mainly made up of works by great representatives of modern art, such as Leonora Carrington, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, Francisco Toledo, Dr. Atl, José Luis Cuevas, among others.
For the Ponce Kurczyn Collection, art is a fundamental piece of the intellectual and spiritual development of people, as well as the social future of our country. For this reason, it seeks to generate new cultural dynamics through the creation and implementation of research, exhibition and dissemination projects of the arts.
It is one of the most important conservation and restoration companies in Latin America. It was founded at the end of the eighties by brothers and civil engineers Javier and Ramón Velázquez. At the beginning of their extensive career they were in charge of the Restoration of the Temple of Regina Coeli, in the Historic Center of Mexico City, and later they developed the survey of the Church of Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, through the use of Laser Scanner 3D. As a result of this project, the company created the Dimensional Analysis and 3D Modeling Department.
They have been in charge of the restoration of the Chapel of "Our Lady of Guadalupe", the conservation of the Goitia Museum and the restoration of the facade of the Pedro Coronel Museum, all in the city of Zacatecas. They have also carried out the architectural survey of the former Hacienda de San Diego de Jaral, in San Felipe, Guanajuato, as well as other 3D registration projects, such as the 22 sculptures of the Friendship Route, monument 6 of the Mayan archaeological site Tortuguero, located in the Carlos Pellicer Cámara Regional Museum of Anthropology in the city of Villa Hermosa, Tabasco.
Likewise, they have developed projects to digitize historical collections, such as that of the Mátiz Foundation, (collection of negatives by photographer Leo Mátiz; 2013); that of the choir books of the Cathedral of Zacatecas (2014), or that of the Viceregal Art Museum of Guadalupe, in Zacatecas (2014). CAV carried out the records and processing of the Facade of the former Hacienda Mezcalera de Jaral de Berrio in Guanajuato, the facade of the former La Cubana chocolate factory, the Pharr international bridge in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, and the Temple of San Francisco in Zacatecas. In 2015, the company digitized the sculpture "The Serpent of El Eco", by Matías Goeritz, as well as the construction of a wooden replica of the same sculpture and its installation in the Iturbide Palace Museum.
Since 2017, due to the earthquakes that damaged multiple buildings, CAV has focused its efforts on various conservation and restoration projects throughout the Mexican Republic. In 2018, work began on the conservation of the gates of the Metropolitan Cathedral and Tabernacle in the Historic Center, and the rescue and safeguarding of the murals located in Buildings "A" and "B" of the National Center of SCT, both in Mexico City.
