Museo de Arte Contemporáneo

The Eduardo Westerdahl Museum of Contemporary Art, known as MACEW, occupies the first floor of the historic Casa de la Aduana in Puerto de la Cruz, an emblematic building constructed around 1620 on Calle Las Lonjas. This cultural space houses a valuable collection of Spanish and international 20th-century art, with special focus on renowned Canarian artists such as Óscar Domínguez, César Manrique, Manolo Millares, and Juan Ismael, essential names in the island's artistic landscape.

The museum, inaugurated in 2007 and managed by the Instituto de Estudios Hispánicos de Canarias, combines its permanent collection with temporary exhibitions that reflect the dedication of its professionals to bringing contemporary art closer to both locals and visitors. Among its admirers are those who appreciate the effort to keep the love for art alive right at the port area, though it's a more intimate space that requires checking schedules before visiting. Open Monday to Friday during morning hours, it becomes an essential cultural stop for those seeking to discover Canarian artistic heritage in a unique historic setting.
