    I enjoyed visiting for the first time, I had never been. It is a very good city, you spend time looking at all the exhibitions and when I went it was about to open more rooms that were being restored. A good place to visit.

    Quedé encantada con el museo 🖼️ y eso que solo estaba la sala 8 abierta pero la verdad muy bonito, las muestras con un toque moderno de interés que hacen referencias a otras culturas como la asiática, así como la nuestra local. Muy colorido y el personal muy amable.

    (Translated by Google) Near the children's museum, highly recommended too! It is one of the places you can not miss if you want to learn and take surprises about innovative art! It has several areas to recreate, observe and interact a lot! Surely it will be a long visit where you will see things that are unquestionable without any doubt, as long as you appreciate the essence of each work collected in the museum (Original) Cerca del museo de los niños, muy recomendado tambien!

    Muy buen museo. Manejado con mucha mística. Se nota que los que trabajan allí lo hacen con mucho amor. Lo que le falta es presupuesto ya que la cultura es lo único que nos queda para las próximas generaciones.

It has a bathroom and parking in the Parque Central Cultural Center It has guides if you require information about any of the works that are being exhibited. If you are tired or need to sit down, there are places to rest. You can take pictures as long as the camera or phone flash is not used. How everything should be spoken in a moderate tone and keep a safe distance from the works. You can not eat any food or drink inside the museum, as is restricted access to bags or purses, at the entrance there is a space to store them while you enjoy the walk. Admission is free (Original) Excelente museo para disfrutar con la familia, recrearse y aprender del arte. Es un museo muy amplio, limpio para los amantes de las artes. Posee baño y estacionamiento en el Centro Cultural Parque Central Cuenta con guías si requieres información sobre alguna de las obras que se están exhibiendo. Si estás cansado o requieres sentarte, hay sitios para descansar. Se pueden tomar fotografías siempre y cuando no se use el Flash de la cámara o teléfono. Cómo todo.museo se debe hablar en un tono moderado y mantener una distancia prudencial de las obras. No se puede ingerir ninguna comida o bebida dentro del museo, al igual que está restringido el acceso de bolsos o carteras, en la entrada hay un espacio para guardarlos mientras disfrutas del paseo.

    (Translated by Google) An important museum with an exquisite selection of art, the air conditioners do not work and there is no constant cleaning of the place. It looks deteriorated, stopped in time, the poor management is noticeable. In spite of this, it shows how well done and this magnificent venue is still standing. (Original) Un importante museo con una exquisita selección de arte, los aires acondicionados no sirven y no hay una limpieza constante del lugar.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most employable sites of contemporary art in the city, with each room, sculpture, painting, unique piece, it projects true feelings embodied by the artists. Knowing that you will be able to find works of the Botero level, you will get an image of how magnificent it will be to visit this art center and enjoy its tour. (Original) Uno de los sitios más emplematicos del arte contemporáneo de la ciudad, con cada sala, escultura, pintura, pieza única, proyecta verdaderos sentimientos plasmados por los artistas.

    (Translated by Google) It has an important collection of works of art that are the heritage of Venezuela, they hold very important exhibitions such as the one held in honor of Pablo Picasso and it is very well connected.

  • 4/5 Johanna G. 4 months ago on Google
    Para mí fue revivir a mis largas visitas cuando era pequeña, la majestuosidad del lugar en aquellos tiempos. Hoy puedo decir que me sorprendió ver aún exposiciones vigentes, que apuestan al arte y a la diversidad de medios y culturas. Sin embargo, rescatar las normativas museografica, la vestimenta y comportamientos de los guías, el cuidado y resguardo patrimonial de la infraestructura. Este museo es una joya y debemos cuidarlo. Le doy 4 estrellas, porque hay que seguir apoyando el arte en nuestro país.

    (Translated by Google) Oh, wonderful. If you like Picasso and want to see a complete exhibition with the Vollard suite, you need to go to this place. It has been remodeled recently although I went a few months ago and there was no air conditioning. However, the beauty of the site, located in the heart of Parque Central, and the collections of contemporary Venezuelan and world art, will be worth every drop of sweat. The best place to see Soto. (Original) Ah, maravilloso. Si a usted le gusta Picasso y quiere ver una exposición completa con la suite Vollard, necesita ir a este lugar.

  • 4/5 Ernesto M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The Museum of Contemporary Art of Caracas (MACC), is a museum of modern art located in the Urban Complex Parque Central de Caracas. It was founded on August 30, 1973 by the journalist and art promoter Sofía Ímber (Director between 1973 and 2001). Opened in 1974, its collection covers around 5,000 pieces, among which artists such as Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Vasili Kandinski, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol or Francis Bacon stand out. The dismissal of its director in 2001 after 28 years of administrative continuity, the theft of the work "Odalisca with Red Pants" by Henri Matisse in 2002 and the Venezuelan Crisis have involved the museum in plots of corruption and abandonment, its current criticism being criticized management due to insecurity, constant changes of directors, neglected works, political propaganda and the cancellation of catalogs and acquisitions. The MACC was the first Venezuelan museum to offer a library service specialized in art, a formal plastic training space for children and adults, a special education department for the blind and a multimedia center for the arts. Admission is free for permanent and temporary exhibitions. (Original) El Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Caracas (MACC), es un museo de arte moderno situado en el Complejo Urbanístico Parque Central de Caracas. Fue fundado el 30 de agosto de 1973 por la periodista y promotora de arte Sofía Ímber (Directora entre 1973 y 2001). Inaugurado en 1974, su colección abarca alrededor de 5.000 piezas, entre las que se destacan artistas como Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Vasili Kandinski, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol o Francis Bacon. La destitución de su directora en 2001 tras 28 años de continuidad administrativa, el robo de la obra "Odalisca con Pantalón Rojo" de Henri Matisse en 2002 y la Crisis de Venezuela han envuelto al museo en tramas de corrupción y abandono, siendo criticada su actual gestión debido a la inseguridad, los constantes cambios de directores, obras descuidadas, propaganda política y la cancelación de catálogos y adquisiciones. El MACC fue el primer museo venezolano en ofrecer un servicio bibliotecario especializado en arte, un espacio de formación plástica formal para niños y adultos, un departamento de educación especial para invidentes y un centro multimedia para las artes. La entrada es gratuita para las exhibiciones permanentes y temporales.

  • 3/5 Daniel A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Well, my personal opinion about it is based on the fact that it is excellent (and always will be) to have museums where you can appreciate the works of art of different media interpreters, such as in this one dedicated to contemporary art. However, why the intermediate opinion? Because of the abandonment of the place, once built on the rise of Chávez's ideals to refresh the national popular culture, it was positioned as a good option to visit in the city of Caracas. The black nuance of this "painting" that we will call "visit to the contemporary museum" is the obvious (and I repeat) abandonment of public administration authorities for the maintenance and cultural management of the city that becomes visible in infrastructure and in what It is offered to the visitor in a place that should be a mandatory tourist spot in the city of Caracas. However, despite everything, you can go to spend a different time on a Saturday during the day. (Original) Bien, mi opinión personal al respecto parte del hecho de que es excelente (y siempre será) el tener museos donde poder apreciar las obras de arte de diferentes intérpretes del medio, como por ejemplo en este dedicado al arte contemporáneo. Sin embargo ¿Por qué la opinión intermedia? Por lo abandonado del lugar, una vez construido en el auge de los ideales de Chávez para refrescar enaltecer la cultura popular nacional se posicionó como una buena opción para visitar en la ciudad de Caracas. El matiz negro de esta "pintura" que llamaremos "visita al museo contemporáneo" es el evidente (y repito) abandono de las autoridades de la administración pública para el mantenimiento y gestión cultural de la ciudad que se hace visible en infraestructura y en lo que se ofrece al visitante en un lugar que debería ser punto turístico obligatorio en la ciudad de Caracas. Sin embargo, a pesar de todo, se puede ir a pasar un momento diferente un sábado durante el día.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place to visit. Entrance is free and very worthwhile the place is very clean and well maintained safe. It has several interesting exhibitions, you can spend at least 1 hour in there. There are security guards inside who travel all the time, there is a bathroom inside, only unfortunately there is no wifi ... there is a subway and taxi nearby ... there is another museum to visit but it is paid. I took pictures for them to see little. My son who doesn't like it loved it ♡ (Original) Lugar lindo para conhecer. Entrada é gratuita e vale muito a pena o local é seguro muito limpo e bem conservado. Tem várias exposições interessantes dá para passar ao menos 1 hora la dentro tranquilo. Existem seguranças la dentro que percorrem tempo todo, tem banheiro la dentro só infelizmente não tem wifi... perto tem metrô e taxi... perto tem outro museu para visita mas é pago. Tirei fotos para que vejam pouco. Meu filho que não curte adorou ♡
