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...

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...

A very disappointing visit. Most exhibition halls seemed to be under construction, though the person at the entrance didn't explain anything. Only a temporary exhibition downstairs was open to the public. It was tiny and rather unimpressive. We found out that the museum actually has a rich and diverse collection spanning decades, yet there's no permanent exhibition of it? It's baffling that it's not put to better use, a real shame. The shop, too, is underwhelming: there are art books (in Spanish) on the one hand, and all kinds of cheap trinkets on the other. A lot of it has nothing whatsoever to do with the museum or with Canarian art: Toulouse-Lautrec, Klimt, Van Gogh... Odd...

Well-curated and free to enter. CAAM is a clean, quiet modern art gallery with a mix of local, African, and Latin American artists. The exhibitions change regularly and often touch on social or political themes, more thought-provoking than decorative. The building is spread over a few floors with a rooftop terrace and a nice blend of modern and historic architecture. It doesn’t take long to go through, but it’s time well spent if you're nearby. Staff were polite and gave space to browse. A solid cultural stop in the old town, especially if you need a break from the sun.
