Domus Artium 2002
About This Museum
People often wander down to the Domus Artium 2002, or DA2 as we call it, curious about what's happening inside the old city prison. They're never disappointed, because the art here is as bold and unpredictable as a Salamanca spring. You might find a room filled with haunting video installations one month, and walk into a forest of suspended sculptures the next. It’s a place that truly lives and breathes with the energy of today's artists.
Collection Highlights
There are no permanent pieces, really—the joy is in the surprise. Recent highlights have included immersive soundscapes that echo through the former cells and provocative photography series tackling modern social issues.
Visitor Information
It's free to get in, which is a lovely touch. Check their website before you come to see what's on; there's always a workshop or an artist's talk that makes for a perfect afternoon. And don't forget to pop into their restaurant for a coffee—it's a beautiful, light-filled space.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a converted prison from the early 20th century, its stark, imposing brick facade gives way to surprisingly airy, white-walled galleries and soaring industrial spaces where you can still see traces of its past life.
