Fundación César Manrique

The Fundación César Manrique is an artist and house museum housed in a former private residence in Tahíche. The building incorporates natural volcanic cavities that connect with the living quarters and exhibition spaces.

The artist acquired this house in 1967 and made it his home and studio. After converting it into a foundation, it opened to the public as a cultural center in 1992.

The artist lived and worked here, leaving his mark in every room through furniture choices and color schemes. The house shows how a creator shaped his own living space as a work of art.

Access descends through a vertical pathway that shows how the building sits embedded in the ground. Wear comfortable shoes, as you'll climb stairs between the different levels throughout your visit.

Hidden inside is a surprisingly large swimming pool beside the exhibition rooms, one of the rare public-facing pools built into a museum structure. This unexpected blend of art and leisure creates a memorable contrast during the visit.
