About Museo del Baile Flamenco
The world's only museum dedicated entirely to the art of flamenco dance, founded by the legendary dancer Cristina Hoyos in a beautiful 18th-century palace in the heart of Seville.
The Museo del Baile Flamenco is the world's most comprehensive museum dedicated to flamenco, founded in 2006 by Cristina Hoyos, one of the most celebrated flamenco dancers of the 20th century and a frequent collaborator of Carlos Saura. Housed in a beautifully restored 18th-century Sevillian palace, the museum traces the history, technique, and social context of flamenco from its origins in the cultural fusion of Moorish, Jewish, and Romani traditions in Andalusia through its evolution into the global art form it is today. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to experience the music, movement, and costume of flamenco from the inside. The museum also hosts nightly live flamenco performances in its atmospheric courtyard, offering some of the most authentic flamenco experiences available to visitors in Seville.
Did you know? Flamenco was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list in 2010, recognising its unique value as a living tradition of Andalusian culture.
