PhotoFeed Contest - Black & White Photography Round 131: Museum [ENG/ESP]
“The modern museum has multiple purposes - to curate and preserve, to research, and to reach out to the public. They challenge us and ask us to question our assumptions about the past or the world around us.”
Kate Williams
Museum
During the last Holy Week, at the end of April, I was touring the city center taking advantage of the low traffic of those days, which in Venezuela as in many other countries, are usually holidays and of little work activity.
Among the places I visited on that occasion, was the Museum of Barquisimeto, an old mansion built in the late nineteenth century to serve originally as a hospital, and after moving to a new location during the 50's, it was abandoned to be recovered later to establish the local museum there.
Unfortunately I found it closed, I do not know if it was due to remodeling or as a consequence of the celebration of the holy days, but the truth is that I could not enter and visit its interior, although I did take some photos of its exterior facades.
As I have described in previous posts, I process the original photographs using the editing tools offered in their free versions by the applications Picsart and Snapseed.
Museo
Durante la pasada Semana Santa, a finales del mes de Abril, estuve recorriendo el centro de la ciudad aprovechando el poco tráfico vehicular de esos días, los cuales en Venezuela al igual que muchos otros países, suelen ser feriados y de escasa actividad laboral.
Entre los lugares que visité en esa ocasión, estuvo el Museo de Barquisimeto, una vieja casona construida a finales del Siglo XIX para servir originalmente como un hospital, y que luego de su mudanza a una nueva sede durante la década de los 50, fué abandonada para ser recuperada posteriormente y establecer allí el museo local.
Lamentablemente lo encontré cerrado, no sé si por remodelación o como consecuencia de la celebración de los días santos, pero lo cierto es que no pude ingresar y visitar su interior, aunque si tomé algunas fotos de sus fachadas exteriores.
Como he descrito en posts anteriores, las fotografías originales las proceso haciendo uso de las herramientas de edición que ofrecen en sus versiones gratuitas las aplicaciones Picsart y Snapseed.
All the Photos are of my Authorship, as well as the Edition of the same ones.
