MuseumWhat to seeLa OrotavaTenerife

The Ibero-American Craft Museum of Tenerife (MAIT) is a cultural treasure nestled in the heart of La Orotava, masterfully blending history and tradition. Housed in the 17th-century former Santo Domingo Convent, this museum captivates visitors with both its stunning convent architecture and its rich collection of Ibero-American crafts with a special focus on Canarian creations.

The museum features a permanent exhibition of ceramics, glassware, and textile works that reflect centuries of artisan tradition on both sides of the Atlantic. Beyond the display cases, MAIT stands out for its diverse range of activities: from hands-on craft workshops and the popular MAIT Nights to family programs and guided tours through La Orotava. With free admission for Tenerife residents and morning hours Monday through Saturday, this beloved cultural space in northern Tenerife is perfect for anyone looking to connect with the Canary Islands' artisanal heritage in an exceptional historical setting.
