Universo Manuel de Falla, Music museum in Antequeruela Alta, Granada, Spain
Universo Manuel de Falla is a music museum in a residential house in Granada where the Spanish composer spent years of his life. The collection displays over 140 documents and belongings from his creative period, supported by audio recordings and multimedia materials.
The composer moved to this Granada house in 1922, where he created major works while living with his sister. He left Spain in 1939 and emigrated to Argentina, making his years here a defining chapter of his artistic life.
The composer maintained close connections with other artists of his era, visible through correspondence and shared creative interests displayed throughout the rooms. Personal possessions reveal how he lived among fellow intellectuals and musicians.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday in a residential neighborhood accessible on foot. Visitors should know that the rooms are compact since this is a home, and the original furnishings are preserved as they were left.
The rooms preserve the exact arrangement of Falla's belongings, from medicine cabinets to wall decorations, giving visitors a window into his personal space. This carefully maintained layout offers a more personal view of his daily life than typical museum displays.
