The Museo de Bellas Artes in Caracas occupies two buildings designed by Carlos Raúl Villanueva, a 1930s Neoclassical building and a 1970s Brutalist one. The text gives no exact dates, client, materials or dimensions. The museum was founded in 1917 and was originally housed in the building now known as the Palacio de las Academias.
In the 1970s the museum moved out of the Neoclassical building to make room for the newly established National Art Gallery. It reoccupied that space after the National Art Gallery's new building opened in 2009. The page does not say explicitly whether the 1930s building is the Palacio de las Academias. Its collections include ceramics and ancient Egyptian art.
The museum stands at Plaza de los Museos in the Bellas Artes area of Caracas. The infobox lists no architect or style, so those come only from the text. The article gives no hours or admission.
