FAQ
What is in the collection?
Flemish and Spanish painting alongside Canarian artists, together with sculpture and works held by the city. The Flemish material reflects the islands' old trading links with the Low Countries.
Is there an entry charge?
It is a municipal museum and entry has historically been free. Worth confirming on the day, since municipal arrangements change more often than national ones.
Where is it?
In central Santa Cruz near the Plaza del Príncipe, within a few minutes' walk of the main shopping streets and the Plaza de España.
How long does it take?
Half an hour is enough to see it properly. That is a feature rather than a criticism: it fits into a day in the capital without displacing anything else.
Who runs it?
The city council of Santa Cruz, which is why its information appears on the municipal site rather than on a museum one of its own.
What else is worth seeing in Santa Cruz?
The Auditorio on the waterfront, the covered market, TEA for contemporary art, and the Museo de la Naturaleza y Arqueología, which holds the Guanche collection.
