ARQUISIMETO 
USEUMARQUISIMETO USEUM
Barquisimeto at the
end of the past century is an extended city over a broad plane of
peaceful land, with narrow streets over which pass at the same
time the rush of work and the slowness of routine. A city of
upright trees in which the clean breeze from the "Valle del
Turbio" mills around the bushes whispers.
In those times the Hospital de la Caridad was operating. It standed out among the clay and red roofing tiles. Here medical services were provided with scarce resources in a building which was also very deteriorated.
By the pressure of circumstances, the State President decrees in 1877 the establishment of a charity committee to manage the resources that the Executive assigned to the Hospital's repair.
This old structure is placed in the east area of the present-day Barquisimeto museum.
