The museum architectural design is the work of another famous Venezuelan artist the architect Carlos Raul Villanueva. In this piece of work Villanueva widely shows his rare ability to masterly integrate in a well-composed unity, architectural design, art, landscape and man.

Here you can admire different artistic trends like structuralism, neoplasticism, optic, kinetic and monochromatic.
