Barquisimeto Museum, National historical monument in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
The Barquisimeto Museum occupies a building with a rectangular courtyard and central chapel, displaying regional art collections and historical artifacts.
Built in the 1910s as a hospital, the structure avoided demolition in the late 20th century through public protests and transformed into a museum.
The museum exhibits pre-Columbian artifacts, colonial period items, and contemporary Venezuelan art pieces that represent regional cultural development.
Located at Carrera 15 between Calles 25 and 26, the museum maintains regular exhibitions and provides educational programs throughout the year.
The building features preserved architectural elements from its original hospital design, including the central chapel that now serves exhibition purposes.
