Casa-Museo César Manrique, Modern art museum in Haría, Spain
Casa-Museo César Manrique is a museum housed in a traditional Canarian farmhouse nestled among palm groves in northern Lanzarote. The building contains the artist's personal possessions, furnishings, and artworks displayed within his former living spaces.
The artist purchased the property in 1986 and lived there until 1992 as his primary residence. He preserved the original Canarian farmhouse design rather than transforming it into something entirely new.
The museum reveals how Manrique blended traditional Canarian building methods with contemporary artistic thinking in his work. Visitors can observe the ways local materials and the landscape shaped his creative approach.
The museum sits about 30 miles (50 kilometers) north of the main airport and is best reached by car. Guided tours available in multiple languages help visitors understand the collection and the building's layout.
The house opens toward the surrounding landscape through expansive windows and interior courtyards. The gardens grow directly from the volcanic rock that defines the island.

Lanzarote is an island in the Canaries shaped by its volcanic past. Timanfaya National Park spreads across a large part of the island, showing black lava fields, craters, and colored rock formations. Volcanoes like El Cuervo, Montaña Colorada, and Caldera Blanca can be hiked. Underground caves such as Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua lead through lava tunnels formed thousands of years ago. Along the coast, rocks and hardened lava shape coves like Los Hervideros and El Golfo with its green lagoon. Beaches range from the protected bays of Papagayo with pale sand to the long stretch of Famara Beach backed by tall cliffs. In La Geria, vines grow in small hollows covered with volcanic ash, a farming method adapted to the dry conditions. The Cactus Garden near Guatiza displays hundreds of species in a former quarry. Museums like the César Manrique Foundation and LagOmar merge architecture with the landscape. Museo Atlántico sits underwater off Playa Blanca. Traditional sites include Santa Bárbara Castle and San Gabriel Castle, along with the Janubio Salt Flats where salt is still harvested today.
