Museum of Modern Art in Caracas, Unfinished modern art museum in Colinas de Bello Monte, Venezuela.
The museum structure was planned as an inverted pyramid positioned on a cliff, rising four floors above the Central Zone of Caracas.
Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer created the design between 1954 and 1955, during a period of architectural modernization in Latin America.
The structure would receive natural light exclusively through a glass ceiling, while maintaining completely opaque walls that separate interior spaces from surroundings.
The museum location coordinates are 10.480535 latitude and -66.87285 longitude, situated in the Venezuelan capital city of Caracas.
The museum design concept featured a revolutionary architectural approach, inverting traditional building structures by placing larger spaces at higher levels.
