Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno

Tentang

Fakta cepat: Housed in a 19th-century former convent and salt warehouse, the space showcases contemporary Canarian and African art across 4,000 square meters. The permanent collection spans works from the 1950s to today, with a strong focus on artists from the Atlantic archipelagos and West Africa.

Sorotan: The building's transformation from a salt storage depot to a gleaming white gallery means you'll spot original stone arches and timber beams colliding with sleek white walls and angular staircases. One gallery alone holds over 60 works by Martin Chirino, the Canarian sculptor whose spiral iron pieces became a symbol of the islands' artistic identity.

Tips orang dalam

• Head to the rooftop terrace after the galleries for panoramic views over the Vegueta old town and the cathedral dome.
• The library upstairs holds over 20,000 volumes on contemporary Canarian art, a quiet spot most visitors never find.
• Allow extra time when temporary exhibitions are on, they often take up two full floors and rotate every few months.
• Photography is allowed without flash in the permanent collection, so bring a wide-angle lens for the double-height gallery spaces.
