Museo Néstor

The Museo Néstor in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is dedicated to the life's work of Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre, the most important painter of the Canary Islands. The collection is housed in a traditional building designed in the regional folkloric style by his brother, the architect Miguel Martín-Fernández de la Torre. Since opening in 1956, the museum has presented a thematically organized selection of the artist's works across two floors and twelve rooms. Visitors can explore the different phases of his career, from early works of his youth to Symbolist motifs and portraits to stage designs. Especially noteworthy are the cycles "Poema del Mar" and "Poema de la Tierra," which reflect his study trips and unfinished visions. The museum also offers a hall for temporary exhibitions and a documentation center that holds more than three hundred titles from the artist's private collection.
