Museo del Baile Flamenco

About

The Museo del Baile Flamenco in Seville offers an immersive celebration of one of Andalusia’s most powerful art forms, blending tradition, emotion, and contemporary expression. Founded by renowned dancer Cristina Hoyos, the museum occupies a restored 18th‑century building in the Santa Cruz district, where vaulted stone spaces and modern installations create an evocative setting. Interactive exhibits explore the origins of flamenco, its musical structures, and the cultural influences that shaped it, from Romani heritage to Andalusian folklore. Costumes, photographs, and audiovisual displays reveal the intensity and artistry behind the dance, while daily live performances bring its passion to life just steps from the galleries. The museum serves as both a cultural archive and a living stage, offering visitors a deeper understanding of flamenco’s rhythm, soul, and enduring presence in Seville’s identity.
