The Artigas Mausoleum

Does anyone know whats happening with the Artigas Mausoleum under his statue on Plaza Independencia?

When will they move Artigas' remains and when will the mausoleum as it is now be closed?

Has it been decided what will be put in its place?

**For anyone who doesn't know Artigas is the national hero and his remains are housed in this eerie underground mausoleum in downtown Montevideo. They have decided to move his remains to the newly finished presidential building (also on Plaza Independencia) because they feel the current resting place is too representative of the previous military dictatorship.

To see the mausoleum as it is now check out this link:
