Museo de Arte Contemporáneo "Eduardo Westerdahl"

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Eduardo Westerdahl occupies the Casa de la Real Aduana, presenting modern artworks across multiple exhibition spaces in Puerto de la Cruz.

Founded in 1953 by art critic Eduardo Westerdahl, this institution became the first permanent contemporary art museum established in Spain, starting with 26 works from twelve artists.

The museum displays works from notable Spanish artists including Cesar Manrique, Manolo Millares, and Juan Ismael, alongside international creators like Wolfgang Paalen and Luc Peire.

Located at Calle Las Lonjas, the museum opens Monday through Friday from 10:00 to 14:00, offering guided tours and educational activities coordinated by the didactic department.

The collection grows through donations from artists who maintain connections with Tenerife or have presented solo exhibitions within the museum's historical 17th-century building.
