Bancamiga strengthens Caracas's historic heart, supporting Sacred Museum and Archdiocesan Archive

Bancamiga has stepped forward to support the Sacred Museum of Caracas and the Archdiocesan Historical Archive, recognizing their importance in preserving Venezuelan identity. This partnership goes beyond financial aid, signifying a genuine commitment to culture.

The bank's backing will ensure the multidisciplinary team, comprising archivists, restorers, museologists, guides, administrators, and security personnel, can continue their vital work. This includes protecting, researching, and presenting the treasures housed within these institutions.

Father Gaspere Salerno, director of the Historical Archive and president of the Sacred Museum, described the agreement as a "breath of fresh air" and a "golden opportunity" for both entities. He highlighted that Bancamiga promotes Venezuelan art and culture while the institutions conserve and disseminate religious heritage, crucial for both the Church and the nation.

The Archdiocesan Historical Archive holds one of Venezuela's most significant documentary collections, with records dating back to the 16th century, offering an inexhaustible source for understanding the country's past. The Sacred Museum, a vibrant center for spiritual, educational, and cultural engagement, boasts one of the region's most impressive collections of religious art. It also offers advanced studies in sacred art in collaboration with national universities.

Located in Caracas's historic center, the Sacred Museum is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It hosts guided tours, talks, and exhibitions. Bancamiga's financial support will help keep these doors open and facilitate the development of new pedagogical projects and activities, fostering a deeper connection between Venezuelans and their history.
