After exploring the first floor of the Antonio Jose de Sucre House Museum and admiring the beautiful garden and the colonial architecture with its stunning columns, I headed to the second floor, where the bedrooms are located. We reached it via a flight of stairs. The first thing that caught my attention were the large wooden windows, which are almost always kept closed due to the strong winds.
I walked up to one of the windows and took in the beautiful view. From here, the towers of the Santa Ines Basilica stand out among all the surrounding structures; in the distance, you can see a large mountain, and, like a vast backdrop, the sky over Cumana, a striking light blue.



The first room I visited is small but cozy—it’s the girls’ room. I was told that, for that era, colors didn’t distinguish between genders, which is why the mattress is dark blue. The bed’s design looks very luxurious with gold accents. A porcelain doll sits on top of it. Let’s remember that Antonio José de Sucre had three sisters: María Josefa, Aguasanta, and María Magdalena.
In this room, there is also a very elegant dressing table—perhaps the most striking feature—with two more dolls on top, in the same style as the first one: a face with little expression and a voluminous dress in subdued colors.



The second room is for the children; here, the mattress is guava-colored with a headboard similar to the one in the other room. There is also a nightstand with some toys, including a spinning top, a bowling ball, and a yo-yo, all made of wood. There is also a small metal horse and a soldier. A flower-shaped lamp is another decorative element on this nightstand.


In one corner stood a horse’s head attached to a wooden stick—a toy used to pretend one was riding a real horse. In the other corner was a small box used to store all the toys.



This tour was quite interesting; it offered a glimpse into the private life of the Sucre family, a way to transport oneself back to that era and visualize where they rested and spent their nights—everyday matters that are part of life.
Después que exploré el primer piso de la Casa Museo Antonio José de Sucre, y aprecié el hermoso jardín y el diseño colonial con hermosas columnas, me dirigí al segundo nivel, donde están las habitaciones. Accedimos por unas escaleras. Lo primero que llamó mi atención fueron los amplios ventanales de madera que casi siempre permanecen cerrados debido a los fuertes vientos.
Me acerqué a un ventanal y aprecié la hermosa vista, desde acá las torres de la Basílica Santa Inés se destacan entre todas las estructuras presentes, a lo lejos se puede apreciar una gran montaña y como un gran telón el cielo cumanés con un azul claro llamativo.



La primera habitación que visité es pequeña pero acogedora, es el cuarto de las niñas, se me indicó que para la época los colores no distinguían género, de allí que el colchón sea azul oscuro. El diseño de la cama luce muy lujoso con acabados en dorado. Arriba se aprecia una muñeca de porcelana. Recordemos que Antonio José de Sucre tuvo tres hermanas: María Josefa, Aguasanta y María Magdalena.
En este espacio, además, hay una peinadora muy elegante, quizás el objetivo más sobresaliente, encima de él dos muñecas más, del mismo estilo de la primera, un rostro sin mayor expresión y un vestido voluminoso de colores sobrios.



El segundo cuarto es destinado a los niños, acá el colchón viste de color guayaba con un espaldar parecido al de la otra habitación. Encontramos también una mesa de noche con algunos juguetes, entre ellos: un trompo, un boliche y un yo-yo, todos elaborados en madera. De igual forma se observa un caballito de metal y un soldado. Una lámpara con forma de flor es otro elemento decorativo de esta mesa.


En una esquina se encontraba una cabeza de caballo, la cual está unida a un palo, elaborado en madera, juguete que se usaba para simular que se montaba uno real. En la otra esquina estaba una especie de cajita que se usaba para guardar todos los juguetes.



Este recorrido fue bastante interesante, es conocer un poco más de la intimidad de la familia Sucre, una forma de trasladarse a aquella época y visualizar donde reposaban y pasaban las noches, asuntos cotidianos que hacen parte de la vida.
