When looking for some cultural experiences in Caracas, there are a number of art and historical museums to visit around town, but none like this! This museum not only boasts a wide selection of Picasso sketches and art pieces, but notable pieces from contemporary artists around the world. I even noted a wall dedicated to an artist from my hometown in New Jersey! :) Not to mention, with the help of an excellent art director who is more than helpful, speaks 3 languages, loves to talk about art, and is always around to guide you through exhibitions, the museum has a wide variety of ever-changing displays of art from all over Venezuela; highlighting not only significant creative pieces, but also those pieces that document the Venezuelan experience through art. Having visited Venezuela 3 times, I have made an effort to visit this museum each time. The exhibitions are beautiful and wonderful, and they also have a wide variety of children's programs to work with and inspire young artists throughout the Caracas area.
Um belo lugar que merece ser visitado. Com belas manifestações artíticas e culturais. Recomendo a visita.
I remember my experience as very positive, i would like to go back
If you enjoy the art this is your place, interesting collection, not a crow place, it is close to Parque Central and Teatro Teresa Carreno Theater, great museum option in Caracas.
Ubicado en el complejo de parque central está este museo muy bonito que vale la pena visitar por los mismos locales, lo malo es que es muy pequeño como los demás museos de la ciudad.It's ubicated in the Central Park's complex, very prettry and very small, you have to go there.
Truthfully, there is not a wide variety of sites to see in Caracas. If you are spending a few days and want to see a bit of art or relish some time spent in air conditioning, this is a good choice. The Picasso pieces alone are worth the visit - his sketches are excellent.
This museum is world-class. I just noted earlier reviews concerned with the dumbing down of people through the removal of publicly accessible art (and other means). And while I agree entirely that this is the trend in Venezuela, and that this is completely and totally apparent on the ground, this museum does remain as a leader in terms of its collection still on display. Visit while you still can!! The architecture is also part of the attraction. While as far as I know the concrete jungle of the Parque Central precedes Chavez's megalomania, regardless, it is worth seeing from below. Horrific. But, then, appropriate that the stellar museum of Modern Art is located within and underneath some of the worst modern architecture ever.
Muy buenas las exposiciones y la instalaciones. En dicho lugar se realizan distintas actividades y chalas culturales durante el año. También rotan determinadas exposiciones.
A very nice and interesting collection, free entrance, comfortable spaces and no crowds! I was practically alone in the museum when I visited, so I could really take my time and enjoy the pieces! Caracas does not offer as many attractions as some other Latin-American capitals, but this museum should not be missed if you pay a visit to this city.
Some time ago it was consider to hold the best collection of Contemporary Art in Latin America. In recent times famous for the disappearance of Matisse' s Dama de Rojo now found and return( not certaint yet when is going tobe shown again despite the big fanfarria local authorities made) Worth a paced mid-morning visit to awe with Picasso's Suite Vollard Collection, Botero's massive sculptures and paintings as well as Miro's, Leger's and talented local artists ( Diez,Soto,etc)
