History of Seville Flamenco Museum

The museum was first opened in 2006 by the famous Spanish flamenco dancer, Cristina Hoyos, in an old 18th century traditional Spanish building – Casa de Palacio(Palace House).

The museum was set up with intention to ‘preserve and celebrate the profound cultural heritage of flamenco‘ with Cristina Hoyos still working as ‘artistic director’ having a strong influence on both the museum exhibitions and the nightly shows.

The museum is spread over 4 different floors, with much of the historic palace restored and preserved to add to the traditional atmosphere.

Visiting Seville Flamenco Museum

The Seville Flamenco museum is relatively small in size, but packed with plenty to see. I think it does a great job of combining educational context about Flamenco culture (with plenty of information points and interactive screens) with more artistic exhibitions.

I would set aside around an hour to fully visit the museum.

If you’e planning to also catch a show at the Museo del Baile Flamenco then I would recommend visiting the museum around 90 minutes before the show, allowing you to explore the museum, and have plenty of time to get good seats (they are first come, first serve).

The museum consists of 4 main sections to visit:

Patio

The patio section is where you will find the ‘main stage’ of the Flamenco museum. Here is where the live shows take place, in a beautiful and traditional Spanish courtyard. Just off this is the museum shop as well as a dance hall/studio where educational workshops and Flamenco lessons take place!

1st Floor

The first floor is the main area to discover the history and culture of Flamenco Dancing. Through the use of electronic touch screen monitors and beautifully restored displays you can learn about the influences, objects and costumes used in Flamenco dancing. There is even a giant screen to immerse yourself within an actual flamenco choreography!

2nd Floor

The second floor of the museum is dedicated to the temporary exhibitions that are offered throughout the year. Furthermore it houses a collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures that celebrate the art of Flamenco.

Basement

The basement is a fairly unique part of the museum, and really shows off historical part of the Palace building, with restored Roman stone walls and artefacts. It’s generally used more for events and gatherings, and large parts are often closed off from public viewing.

Flamenco Shows in the Seville Flamenco Museum

The Museo del Baile Flamenco also hosts regular Flamenco shows at the venue, allowing you to witness the traditional dance before or after your museum visit.

The official tickets for shows at Museo del Baile Flamenco include free access to the museum and allows you to get some context to the performances by understanding the history and culture behind it.

A lot of Seville Flamenco shows will provide no context and often just go into the performance straight away, making it sometimes confusing for tourists.

Booking a combination ticket that includes a flamenco show and entry to the museum is great value for money for tourists looking to get the ultimate Seville flamenco experience.
