Founded in 1973, the Sofía Imber Contemporary Art Museum of Caracas (known by its Spanish acronym, MACCSI) is testament to the determination of Sofía Imber who, with the help of the Centro Simon Bolivar and others, created and gave the capital a magnificent artistic legacy. Currently, the Museum's 16,000 square metres of space for the exhibition of Novecento art serve as the framework of a Permanent Collection of nearly 3,000 works. Under the supervision of the Museum's Director and Founder, Sofía Imber, a selection of pieces by the great masters of our day, like Picasso, Léger, Chagall, Miró, Botero and others, have been incorporated and these works are in themselves valuable historical, formal, aesthetic and pedagogical reference models. Admission is free.
