Hello, health and success to all in this nice community. During this month of September, I have had some blessings in my life. The first one is that my application for a mutual exchange to work in a school near my home was accepted. I started on Wednesday 21 September, on the morning shift. When I left the office one of the co-workers invited me to walk to visit the "Museo Jacobo Borges" which was on the way to our homes, I accepted the invitation and came to show you a little bit of our history and culture.
On entering the museum, the first thing I asked was if I could take some photos and was told that I could, but not to take too many and not to use flash. We were told that we could only see part of the ground floor because the staff had not arrived on the other two floors.
The first thing I saw was that in the center of the room on some small tables were some ships with their miniature crews. I asked and they told me that they were a replica of the ships that were used in the process of independence of our country. I was delighted to see the details of the crew, the Venezuelan flag, and the siren on the front of the ship, all meticulously made.
On the wall to the left and to the right are hung some pictures with heroes of our country. On the left, José Antonio Paez, (the one in white and blue clothes), led the army and managed to separate Venezuela from Gran Colombia and Pedro Camejo, known as Negro Primero, (the one in white and red clothes), fought with the royalist army during the war of independence and rose to the highest rank, (I remember those two from when I studied Venezuelan history in primary school).
In the photos on the right, I remember Manuelita Saénz, she was a politician and military woman, she fought in the battle of Pichincha, she won the highest rank in the army and was always with our Liberator, Simón Bolívar.
I call this part of the museum "Rincón de la Patria"
Now, I will move on to the room "Surrealism and the Sacred" in Nanci Yuncoza, here I could not take many pictures because the light was out and I could not use the flash. For this reason, we left the museum to continue walking home.
This is the façade of the Museum, I took the photo on the way out, and the day was very beautiful with that blue sky. Thanks for your visit and comments.
