The FOVM Board understands the joys and challenges of operating a museum within a historic inner city neighborhood.  We thank all the great support we have from the many downtown organizations and from the area residents. Since the Villa opened in 1972 it has always been more than a house museum; it is part of the celebrations and fabric of the community. The FOVM’s joy will be when we can open the doors to the Villa and share this magnificent museum with the public when the City of San Diego grants us the operating agreement for the museum and Phase 3 restoration (repainting the museum) is complete.
