National Art Gallery, Art museum in Plaza Morelos, Caracas, Venezuela
The National Art Gallery spans eleven circular rooms containing more than 4,000 artworks, including paintings, sculptures, and decorative pieces from Venezuelan creators.
The institution moved to its current location in 2009 from a neo-classical building near Los Caobos Park, which had served as its home since 1976.
The collection presents Venezuelan artistic evolution through pre-Hispanic artifacts, colonial paintings, and contemporary works by artists like Arturo Michelena and Armando Reverón.
The museum opens Tuesday through Friday from 09:00 to 17:00 and weekends from 10:00 to 17:00, with complete wheelchair access throughout the building.
The building, designed by Carlos Gómez de Llerena, stands as the largest museum structure in Venezuela, featuring a circular layout for optimal artwork display.
