Simón Bolívar was born at this site on July 24, 1783. The interior of the house has been reconstructed and on the walls hang big paintings made by Tito Sales. They depict scenes from Bolivar’s life and battles. In the courtyard there is a stone font where Bolívar was baptised.

Museum of Fine Arts and National Art Gallery.
The 'sculpture' The Penetrable. You can walk across it.

I'm not sure of which museum was which, because the museum of fine arts and contemporary art or whatever it was seemed to be connected and I wasn't sure where one ended and one began, but in all the museums were very nice. I thought they were better than what we have in my town of Atlanta and the good news for me was that they were all free! I spent hours walking around and then sitting in an outdoor cafe outside and hearing the art kids (I think there's an art school there as well) talk and take pictures of random things. I regret I didn't get there earlier to spend even more time there. I read somewhere one of the museums was the largest in South America. Right outside the museums was parque central, where hippies sold crafts out of booths (the usual stuff, like beadwork and paintings).
Across from the fine arts was the natural history (I'm too lazy to capitalize any of these names) and it was if anything amusing or surreal seeing large stuffed dead animals like giraffes, which would be living in a zoo in most other cities. Well, it was free, so no reason to not see it. All in all I liked my time there, even though the people from the eastern sides of town told me how dangerous it was and how they were too scared to go and hadn't been in years. The scariest thing I experienced was a choir singing Christmas songs very out of key, but still, I wouldn't hang around for nighttime.
