National Art Gallery (Galeria de Arte
Nacional) Address Avenida Mexico, Parque
Central, Caracas, Located alongside the Museo de
Bellas Artes, the National Art Gallery opened as
recently as 2009, after some ten troubled years
of building work, and was certainly well worth
the wait. This art museum holds a staggering
collection numbering more than 7,000 pieces,
spanning around 500 years. Inside you will
discover that there is everything here from
pre-Hispanic art to contemporary masterpieces.
Some of the most highly regarded artists
exhibited here include the likes of Arturo
Michelena, Armando Reveron, Carlos Cruz Diez and
Jesus Rafael Soto.

The new, nearly completed National Art Gallery
was inaugurated by Hugo Chávez in 2009 and now
stands as Venezuelas physically largest museum.
Construction on its nearly 31,000 sq meters
originally began in 1989 but was abandoned in the
mid-90s. Architect Carlos Gómez de Llerena
persevered and construction resumed in 2006. Its
exhibition galleries are complete and house a
selection from the 7000-piece collection that
embraces five centuries of Venezuelan artistic
expression
