About
The Centro de Arte de Maracaibo Lía Bermúdez, often called CAMLB, is a contemporary art centre in Maracaibo, the capital of the state of Zulia in western Venezuela. It is located on Avenida 3A at the corner of Calle 68, in the city's Maracaibo 4001 postal area.
What to expect
The centre is best understood as a place for changing exhibitions rather than a fixed collection. Its programme rotates through shows featuring Venezuelan artists alongside artists from abroad, so what you see on one visit may differ from the next. Visitors interested in contemporary art will find the centre a natural stop in the city.
- Type of visit: a contemporary art gallery with rotating exhibitions
- Focus: Venezuelan and international artists
- Role in the region: the centre works to promote cultural development and artistic expression in Zulia
Planning your visit
The centre can be reached by telephone at +58-261-7934123, which is a sensible step before you go, since exhibition schedules change. Because the programme rotates, checking what is on at the time of your trip will help you decide whether to make the journey. Many travellers pair a visit with time spent exploring the wider city of Maracaibo, where the centre serves as one of the cultural points of interest for those who enjoy art.
