I am very excited to participate in this contest that the OCD community, brings for all users, supporting growing communities. This time, the support goes to the #ArchitectureDesign community.
For me, it is a pleasure to share some architecture of emblematic places of my beloved city.
Yesterday my son and I decided to go to the Museum of Natural Sciences and the Museum of Fine Arts, which are located in the Plaza los Museos and is known as "the cultural circuit of the city".
Estoy muy emocionada de participar en este concurso que la comunidad OCD, trae para todos los usuarios, apoyando a las comunidades en crecimiento. En esta oportunidad, el apoyo va dirigido a la comunidad #ArchitectureDesign.
Es excitante para mí poder mostrar al mundo dos museos en mi ciudad que han sido emblemáticos durante años.
Ayer mi hijo y yo decidimos ir al Museo de Ciencias Naturales y el Museo de Bellas Artes, que se encuentran el la Plaza los Museos y es conocida como "el circuito cultural de la ciudad".
The Museum of Natural Sciences was inaugurated by Dr. Gustavo Ernst, who was its founder and first director, and its first seat was in the National Museum in 1874.
Later, it would change from that site to the current one and it would be the Architect Carlos Villanueva in 1940, who was responsible for the design it now enjoys.
In 1993, it was declared National Historical Heritage.
El Museo de Ciencias Naturales fue inaugurado por el Dr. Gustavo Ernst, quien fue su fundador y primer director y su primera sede fue en el Mueso Nacional en el año 1874.
Posteriormente, cambiaría de esa sede a la actual y sería el Arquitecto Carlos Villanueva en el año 1940, el responsable del diseño que ahora goza.
El año 1993, fue declarado como Patrimonio Histórico Nacional.

After spending more than an hour in the blazing sun, waiting to get into the enclosure, because groups of 10 people are allowed to enter. They are given a tour and when they leave, the other group enters. We finally paid the equivalent of 0.50 cents per person and discovered that many of the rooms were closed for biosecurity reasons.
Después de estar más de una hora bajo el inclemente sol, esperando para poder entrar al recinto, porque se permite el ingreso de grupos de 10 personas. Les hacen un recorrido y cuando salen, ingresa el otro grupo. Finalmente pagamos el equivalente a 0,50 centavos de dólar por persona y descubrimos que muchas de las salas estaban cerradas por motivos de bioseguridad.
The rooms to which there was access were the stuffed animals and anthropology. The rest of the rooms were closed.
The museum has almost 150,000 pieces as part of its collection. In this treasure chest of millenary treasures, we find taxidermized (stuffed) animals, different archeological and paleontological pieces from different parts of Venezuela.
We left there and crossed the circular plaza to go to the Museum of Fine Arts.
Las salas a las que había acceso, era la de los animales disecados y antropología. El resto de las salas estaban cerradas.
El museo goza de un patrimonio de casi 150.000 piezas como parte de su colección. En este cofre de tesoros milenarios, encontramos animales taxidermizados (disecados), diferentes piezas de arqueología y paleontología de distintas partes de Venezuela.
Salimos de allí y cruzamos la plazoleta circular para ir al Museo de Bellas Artes.
At the entrance of the Museum of Fine Arts is the famous sculpture of Lorenzo Gonzalez, called "The Tempest" and is considered the Guardian of the Temple of the Arts.
This museum was founded in 1918 and was designed by architect Carlos Villanueva.
Although few works of art still remain in this museum, it is still a beautiful place for its fantastic architectural design with its high ceilings, long corridors and large gardens with trees that cast a cool and delicate shade.
En la entrada del Museo de Bellas Artes, está la famosa escultura de Lorenzo González, llamada "La Tempestad" y es considerada como La Guardiana del Templo de las Artes.
Este museo fue fundado en el año 1918 y su diseño fue gracias al Arquitecto Carlos Villanueva.
A pesar de ser pocas las obras de arte que aún permanecen en este museo, sigue siendo un lugar hermoso por su fantástico diseño arquitectónico con sus techos altos, sus largos pasillos y sus amplios jardines con árboles que arrojan una fresca y delicada sombra.
We entered two rooms that were open to the public.
The first one had some works of art called "Lines in the Void". I do not know who the artist is, since nowhere was his name and the person who attended that room, had no idea.
Entramos en dos salas que estaban abiertas al público.
La primera tenía unas obras de arte llamadas "Líneas en el Vacío". Desconozco quién es el artista, ya que en ningún lado estaba su nombre y la persona que atendía esa sala, no tenía idea.
The next room we visited had works by artist David Cedeño. This artist is inclined to collage and fusion of images, mostly sacred images, faith and religion, representing crossings of temporalities and fragments of places confined in memory.
This particular exhibition is called "God and Animal".

Esta exposición en particular, se llama "Dios y Animal".
This was a different day, it was a cultural day which is good for our children.
Before I say goodbye, I would like to invite my friends @carolinacardoza, @zhanavic69, @antoniarhuiz and @marybellrg, who I am sure will enjoy this special contest, to participate.
Thank you for reading me.

Interesante la información sobre el museo. Años que no visito uno. Gracias por la invitación 😊
I hope you can join!
Que bello ese paseo, asi que cuando vaya a Carcas, ya se quien sera mi guia del tour. La pasaron genial, hace falta salir, al menos en Caracas hay muchos lugares a donde ir aqui no, estaba la Casa San Isidro, pero entre la pandemia y la crisis hasta la robaron, no respetan nada.
Yes, there are many places to visit, but the bad thing is that you will be surprised because most of the places are quite neglected. You know, everything the government handles, it messes it up. A clear example is the subway. It's free now, it's filthy, full of garbage everywhere, most of the escalators are useless, it has no air conditioning and many cars are damaged.
Hello @zhanavic69. We’d appreciate it if you would provide/include the English language translation for your comment. Thank you for your consideration.
Hola @purrix, los museos siempre serán de esos lugares a los que me encanta visitar. Hay tanta historia y tanta cultura, tantas cosas por conocer que aún no entiendo como a algunas personas les parece aburrido visitar museos. Muy bonitas fotos, saludos y mucha suerte en el concurso.
Hi @purrix, museums will always be one of those places I love to visit. There is so much history and so much culture, so many things to know that I still don't understand how some people find it boring to visit museums. Very nice photos, greetings and best of luck in the contest.
Hi Katty! I love going to museums, because it's like you say, there is so much history locked in each piece. Now there is a problem and that is that at least these two museums that we visited, lack many things that they used to have. Most of the exhibition rooms are closed. However, it is nice to visit the museums. Thank you for coming to visit me. A big hug!
Un lugar maravilloso y emblemático de nuestra Capital Caracas. Es bueno saber que aún se mantienen muchas edificaciones de este tipo en pie. Mi lugar obligado a visitar sobre todo cuando te conviertes en estudiante de Arquitectura. Y es que los espacios creados por Villanueva, tienen ese toque mágico que incluso nos hace olvidar que estamos dentro de Caracas, con esos microclimas que marcan la diferencia. Y qué bueno un momento en de compartir con tu hijo.
Hello my child! Yes, it was a magical moment. I love museums and one that I have left pending for an upcoming visit, is the children's museum, which I have been told has made a comeback and there are better things to see.
That's right, Villanueva was a great architect. My grandfather, who was also an architect, got to work with him, but he was not so well known (or not known at all, haha). Thank you very much for your visit, it was a pleasure to have you in my house ;)
Hello @purrix, and a warm welcome to the Architecture+Design Community. Again, here's another iconic treasure of Venezuelan architecture. If I'm not mistaken, this prestigious museum was also featured in our tribe some time ago by one of our superb authors. Looks like it was the ideal day to celebrate your cultural and artistic roots by visiting that renowned building of national historical heritage. What were your emotional reactions, if any, when you first experienced that amazing space? Were there any architectural details of the building that impressed you? If so, which ones?
Thank you for your participation in the OCD Community Boost Contest for Architecture+Design. Beautiful publication!
