Jesús Soto Museum of Modern Art, Art museum in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela.
The Jesús Soto Museum of Modern Art comprises six interconnected buildings linked by covered walkways and featuring internal gardens. The spaces display contemporary artworks spanning different artistic movements and periods.
Venezuelan architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva designed the museum in 1971 and completed construction in just nine months for its opening in 1973. The building represented a major contribution to modern architecture in South America at that time.
The museum is named after Jesús Soto, a Venezuelan artist whose kinetic works are recognized internationally. Visitors can observe how his creations use movement and optical effects to transform the way spaces feel.
The museum is located between the historic and newer sections of Ciudad Bolívar and is easily accessible. Guided tours and educational programs are available to help visitors understand the artworks better.
Two dedicated exhibition halls focus entirely on Jesús Soto's creations and reveal his experimental approach to movement and visual effects. Outdoor sculpture gardens integrate the artworks directly with natural light and the surrounding landscape.
