visiting, and if that country happens to be Venezuela, here’s a couple you
should check out in its capital of Caracas.

Museum of Fine Arts
If
the neoclassical building of this museum isn’t enough to impress you, their
collection of ceramics and ancient Egyptian art certainly will.

historical figures, and you should definitely visit this museum that celebrates
his timeless legacy.
