Museo del Baile Flamenco
Sevilla’s Cristina Hoyos, who founded this museum, is one of Spain’s most celebrated flamenco dancers and choreographers. The darkly lit galleries are relatively short on artifacts and long on interactive exhibits that immerse you in the styles, movements, and rhythms of flamenco. There is also an interesting collection of paintings and photographs conveying the passion, or duende, of the art form. In the introductory video, Hoyos advises you to follow your emotions. It isn’t necessary to understand flamenco, she says, it must be felt. Feel it for yourself at an evening show in the museum's traditional Andalucian patio. Shows are at 5pm, 7pm, and 8:45pm and cost 25€ adults, 18€ seniors and students, 12€ children aged 6–12.
