Bancamiga joins in protecting the Sacred Art Museum and the Archdiocesan Archive

Behind every ancient document, every religious painting, and every corner of the historic center of Caracas, there is a story that defines us as Venezuelans. Aware of the importance of keeping these traditions alive, Bancamiga has decided to take a proactive step to support the operations of the Sacred Art Museum of Caracas and the Archdiocese Historical Archive, ensuring that their valuable legacy remains accessible to everyone.

This alliance goes far beyond a financial contribution. It is a genuine commitment to culture. The bank’s support will guarantee that the multidisciplinary team that brings these spaces to life—archivists, restorers, museum professionals, guides, administrative and security personnel—can continue their daily work of protecting, researching, and showcasing the treasures they safeguard to the world.

An alliance where culture is the winner

For Father Gaspere Salerno, director of the Historical Archive and president of the Sacred Art Museum, this agreement represents a breath of fresh air and a golden opportunity for both parties.

“It has been a very interesting synergy, where both institutions benefit. Bancamiga promotes Venezuelan art and culture, while we conserve, restore, and disseminate this religious heritage, which is vital for the Church and, above all, for the entire nation.”

To understand the value of these spaces, it’s worth highlighting what they safeguard:

The Archdiocesan Historical Archive: one of the most important documentary treasures in the country. Its shelves hold records and histories dating back to the 16th century. It is an inexhaustible source for understanding Venezuela’s past.

The Sacred Art Museum: more than a static place, it is a vibrant center for spiritual, educational, and cultural encounters. It houses one of the most impressive collections of religious art in the region and offers diplomas and advanced studies in sacred art in partnership with national universities.

Visit them!

Located in the heart of the capital’s historic center, the Sacred Art Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 10:00 am to 5:30 pm. Its schedule is always active with guided tours, talks, and exhibitions that connect the past with the present.

In addition, in partnership with national universities, it offers advanced studies in sacred art and ecclesiastical historical archives, as well as specialized diplomas.

With its financial backing, Bancamiga ensures that the doors of both centers will remain open and will serve to design new educational projects and activities, so that more Venezuelans can reconnect with their own history.
