A very unique museum with free entrance but offering a lot of diverse attractions. You find 4 floors of carefully detailed exhibitions about indigenous people from around the world as also about putting care about nature and environment

Spacious and varied modern art gallery. Free admission and lockers for bags. Good lift access for those less mobile. Exhibits will vary but the current range focusing on environmentalism is important and well thought out. No cafe facilities and the terrace is tiny. Worth a visit if you enjoy modern art

I'm biased because I love modern arts museums, but I loved both of the CAAM museums. Both were free of charge in January 2023. The smaller one, near Casa de Colón, I give five stars, easily. It was small enough for me to take all in. I can't do big exhibitions, my brain can't handle all that, so this one was perfect for me This, the bigger one? If you go there, and you should because it's great, just have time for couple of hours to spend there. The exhibition was everything the art should be, it meddled with your feelings and your thoughts about the world. For me, it was a bit too woke, occasionally, that's why I'm not giving it five stars. But, it's art. You can and should have an opinion, and I definitely encourage you to see this beautifully constructed exhibition too.

The diverse collection of contemporary and modern art at CAAM is both thought-provoking and visually captivating. The curatorial choices made here showcase a deep understanding of the evolution of art and its role in the broader cultural context. The architectural design of the center itself is a work of art, creating a harmonious setting for the exhibitions. The layout and ambiance encourage contemplation and engagement with the artwork. What stands out most about CAAM is its commitment to fostering cultural dialogue and understanding. The center hosts a variety of events, workshops, and collaborations that bridge the gap between art and the community, making it a vibrant hub for artistic expression and education. The staff’s knowledge and passion for art are evident, and their enthusiasm for sharing their expertise with visitors is commendable. In conclusion, CAAM - Atlantic Center of Modern Art is a must-visit for anyone with an appreciation for contemporary art and a desire to immerse themselves in a cultural journey. It’s a testament to the enduring relevance of art in our lives.

The building itself is a marvellous fusion of medieval and modern architecture, just that meets a visit on its own. I love the local permanent exhibition as they give you insight into the unquote artistry world of the canary islands that blends so many influences. There are also temporary exhibitions, at the time of my visit I deeply was impressed by the queer/feminist work of Zoulikha Bouabdellah - entitled very aptly - Inverted. Loved it! Oh, and make sure to relax in the roof top lounge! It’s architecture is stunning and so are the views.

Free entrance, however I didnt find it interesting. Mostly modern art paintings (2-3 painters if I remember correctly) with no description or a scarce one in Spanish only. They dont charge you for entrance, so thats good in case you dont like it. If you do, you can leave a tip in the box.
