Museo Néstor, Art museum in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
Museo Néstor is an art museum in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria housing ten exhibition rooms filled with paintings, portraits, landscapes, and theatrical designs created by the artist Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre. The works span his broad artistic range from realistic renderings to symbolist compositions.
The building was designed by Néstor himself and completed by his brother Miguel, opening as part of the Pueblo Canario cultural complex. The construction represented an artistic and architectural initiative meant to honor the cultural heritage of the islands.
The collection displays two series titled Poema del Mar and Poema de la Tierra that connect Spanish Symbolism with Canarian identity through visual representation. The paintings reflect how the artist engaged with the island landscape and its cultural character.
The museum is located within Parque Doramas and offers guided tours and educational programs with reduced admission for students and senior visitors. The galleries are easily accessible and the surrounding park provides space for a leisurely walk.
The building itself exemplifies neo-Canarian architecture, blending traditional island construction methods with modern artistic ideas through its distinctive design. The structure forms a central part of the Pueblo Canario plaza, which was conceived as a cultural center for the community.
