ARTLandya
Icod de Los Vinos
Located on a quiet estate near Icod de los Vinos, ARTlandya is a unique experience that goes beyond a traditional museum. It transforms dolls into fascinating artistic objects: its halls display more than 600 unique pieces—porcelain dolls, teddy bears, and handcrafted figurines made by artists from around the world. Each piece has surprising details and a story of its own, immersing you in a world of miniatures full of emotion and character.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by a green oasis filled with palm trees, citrus trees, flowers, and paths that invite you to stroll calmly. The tour combines art, nature, and visual sensations: from gardens with lakes to restored Canarian houses that host exhibitions and even live demonstrations of the porcelain doll-making process.
The Austrian owner and collector who manages ARTlandya passionately explains each piece, making the visit an enjoyable conversation that also connects children and adults with the craft. There's also a shop and café where you can enjoy a drink outdoors while enjoying views of Mount Teide and the Atlantic.
Designed for the whole family, ARTlandya is wheelchair and stroller accessible, has free parking, and is open Tuesday through Sunday. The blend of contemporary art, traditional Canarian architecture, and a tropical setting makes for a relaxing, original, and highly visual experience: ideal if you're looking for something out of the ordinary in Tenerife.
Ultimately, ARTlandya is not just a museum: it's a journey into the world of the tiny that leaves a lasting mark, free from crowds, and full of charm and authentic creativity.
