Its collection has 5,000 pieces, including works by Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Vasili Kandinski, Fernand Léger, Piet Mondrian, Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon. Its director's dismissal, the 2002 theft of Henri Matisse's "Odalisque in Red Pantaloons" and the Venezuelan Crisis have involved the museum in corruption and neglect as well as leading to criticisms of poor security, rapid changes of directors and the cancellations of catalogues and exhibitions. Entry is free for the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions.
