Cuadra Bolivar is in one of Caracas beautiful sights in the south of the historic part of the old town of Caracas. It was the summerhouse of the family of Simon Bolivar and is now a museum that supports the main Museo Bolivariano, included in the museums of Caracas above.

Galeria de Arte Nacional is on one of Caracas beautiful sights across the street at the east of Parque Central, above Avenida Bolivar and adjacent to Museo de Bellas Artes.

It is in the opposite direction of El Museo de Ciencias Naturales, occupying a neo-classical building since its foundation in 1974.

The gallery opened its doors for the public in May 1976. The Venezuelan architect Carlos Raul Villanueva designed this building in 1935 to appear in this neo-classical shape.

The Venezuelan sculptor Francisco Narvaez added sculptural touches to the entrance doors and there is a sculpture on the yard.

The National Arts Gallery has collections of artworks that cover five centuries of the arts history in Venezuela. In addition to these large collections, the gallery has collection of artworks including arts prior to the Hispanic art school in Venezuela.

Francisco Narvaez has an art museum in his birthplace in Porlamar; one of the largest cities in Isla Margarita in Nueva Esparta State at the north of Venezuela.

Carlos Raul Villanueva designed also parts of the University of Caracas and now the Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Universidad Central de Venezuela - UCV was first started in the Concejo Municipal de Caracas in 1725 and named at that time the Real y Pontificia Universidad de Caracas.

Bolivar gave it the present name and the university moved to its recent location on one of Caracas beautiful sights in the area of Sabana Grande about 2 kilometres at the east of Parque Central. However, Wikipedia mentions that it started in 1712 and the roots of the university go back to the 14th century.

Carlos Raul Villanueva designed the campus of the university during the 1950s, which is consider an architectural masterpiece of urban planning and included in the list of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.

It is the largest university in Venezuela, where more than 65,000 students study in different fields of knowledge. There are murals and sculptures in the buildings and on the ground of the university, as well as the Aula Magna, the concert hall with its 2,700 seats on the ground of the university, the large library and the sports complex at the east of the campus.
