Four years of Casa Amarilla
On this day, as today in 2015, La Casa Amarilla opened its doors as we know it today. In these four years, the installation has tried to give its walls an informative and cultural use to an emblematic building in the center of Arrecife. The idea was to launch an exhibition space that would serve to deal with little-known issues of the memory and knowledge of Lanzarote.
In these four years, more than 26,000 visitors have passed through its halls. Due to its museological orientation and its location in the urban environment in which it is inserted, its exhibitions have also been conceived for the tourist visit. In this sense, part of one of the elements of interest of Arrecife.
During this time eight exhibitions have been held on different topics, such as the one dedicated to the photographer Jacinto Alonso Martín, an author born in Tinajo in the last third of the 19th century and almost unknown. Or samples about the history of fiction film shot in Lanzarote, the postcard on the island, the work of Agustín Espinosa, the arrival of the water treatment plant in Lanzarote, the Cactus Garden or the traditional carnival.
Currently, La Casa Amarilla hosts the exhibition ‘100 years: Lanzarote and César’, which is the second of the series organized by the Cabildo of Lanzarote, with the collaboration of the Government of the Canary Islands, on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of César Manrique.
