Casa de la Danza, Dance museum in Logroño, Spain
Casa de la Danza is a dance museum housed in a 17th-century converted wine cellar that displays costumes, photographs, and objects related to dance traditions. The building features multiple exhibition spaces organized to show different aspects of this art form and its documentation.
The building began as a wine storage facility in the 17th century and later transformed into Spain's first museum dedicated solely to dance when it opened in 2003. This shift reflected a growing recognition of dance as a field worthy of its own institutional space and preservation.
The museum showcases how dance has been experienced and celebrated in this region over time, with collections reflecting local movement traditions. The space serves as a gathering point where visitors can encounter the way people here have connected music, movement, and community life.
You can explore the museum on weekdays when guided tours are available, and there are regular free dance screenings throughout the week. Plan your visit around the activities offered to get the most from your time there.
On International Dance Day, the museum plants trees in honor of deceased artists, creating a growing memorial forest over the years. This practice links the remembrance of performers with the growth of something living and rooted in the place.
