The Museum of the Memory of Andalusia is housed in the Caja Granada building, designed by Alberto Campo Baeza in 1992. It's a striking building split into two parts: a "screen" building that forms the façade and houses the offices and a restaurant floor, and the main building itself.
The museum opened in 2009 and focuses on promoting Andalusian culture from an immersive, innovative angle. It was one of the first museums to make use of this kind of technology, letting visitors become part of what they're seeing. The museum brings together elements from every province of Andalusia, aiming to showcase both the region's shared culture and essence and the distinctive character of each area.
In short, the Museum of the Memory of Andalusia is an innovative centre that seeks to bring visitors closer to Andalusian art, history and landscapes, preserving this legacy through knowledge.
Across its four large rooms, visitors can take an interactive journey through the region's culture and past. The museum also runs a variety of activities throughout the year, designed for all audiences, with the aim of bringing Andalusia's past, present and future to as many people as possible.
The museum's four rooms
Room I: the first room focuses on Andalusia's natural resources and how the environment has evolved in each province.
Room II: covers Andalusian society as a whole, as well as the periods of war that this, Spain's southernmost region, has lived through.
Room III: displays objects from the everyday life of Andalusians, interactive panels, and how daily life has unfolded in each province throughout history.
Room IV: Andalusia's musical, pictorial and literary art is an intrinsic part of its heritage. The museum's final room covers the most outstanding examples of Andalusian art.
Among the activities offered by the Museum of the Memory of Andalusia are guided tours, workshops, film series and activities for children. Visiting the museum is like taking a journey into the past to discover what life was like for Andalusians during the Roman, Baetic and Arab periods.
