With a sample that exceeds 200 works, the Museum since its foundation has been consolidating a collection of contemporary art quite heterogeneous, which partially configures the cultural map of Latin America from the first half of the twentieth century to the present day. The Permanent Collection brings together works by outstanding artists from Bolivarian countries and other Latin American countries, with an important exhibition of painting, sculpture, engraving, drawing, assembly, watercolor, collage, installation, photography and video art.
