The Atlantic Center for Modern Art (CAAM) is the main contemporary art museum in the Canary Islands, Spain. It is located in the neighborhood of Vegueta in the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

The Canary Museum is a scientific and cultural society founded in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) in 1879 at the initiative of several members of the local bourgeoisie headed by Dr. Gregorio Chil y Naranjo and the historian and notary Agustín Millares Torres.
In its headquarters, located in the historic district of Vegueta, a permanent and monographic collection is exhibited about the aboriginal population of the island of Gran Canaria, the Canarii. Regarding its exhibition content, the museum's collection is composed of an innumerable amount of materials, either complete objects, or fragments, coming, in most cases, from Gran Canaria; Completing with materials from other islands of the Canary Islands. Among the collections that it conserves, ceramic containers deserve to be highlighted because of their varied typology and decorative beauty; the terracotta figurines, traditionally considered as idols, as for example the Idol of Tara, with a wide representation for Gran Canaria; and the calls pintaderas, of which more than 200 pieces are available.

Relevant importance also has the collection of anthropological remains that has been studied by different researchers since the beginning of this museum foundation.
The background is completed by numerous pieces of lithic and bone industry, woven in skins and vegetal fibers, malacological material, remains of fauna and vegetable products.
Another important part of El Museo Canario is its documentation center, which is considered the largest and most important collection of documents from and about the Canary Islands. Its origin lies in the creation of the institution itself, since from the very beginning the formation of a library was organized with the contributions of the first partners.That original library did not only have material librarian, but it was nourished of great archival collections and periodic publications.
Currently, the documentation center of El Museo Canario has a library, a file and a library, all of them of great patrimonial importance.
The library preserves printed books dated between the fifteenth century (incunabula) and the present, and tries to collect all publications published in the Canary Islands or by Canarian authors, in addition to collecting the works that have the Canary Islands in their subject. In this collection there are numerous rare and curious books, and even a good number of unique copies.
The archive of El Museo Canario houses fundamental collections for the history of the archipelago, such as the Archive of the Canary Islands Inquisition or the documentary collection of the Fuerte Casa de Adeje. About thirty documentary sets of private and family nature are part of this archive, which highlights the collections generated by such important characters of the insular culture as Benito Pérez Galdós, the brothers Juan and Fernando León y Castillo, José de Viera and Clavijo and many others.
The archive is completed by some historical collections of companies and associations and various artistic and figurative collections, among which the cartographic collection and the photographic archive stand out. The latter fund preserves thousands of photographs of former professionals such as Teodoro Maisch and Luis Ojeda Pérez.
The newspaper library of El Museo Canario, which houses more than a million copies of newspapers and magazines, is the most important collection of this type of document in the Canary Islands. It covers from the first known newspapers, which were distributed in manuscript copies (as is the case of the Correo de Canarias, which circulated between 1762 and 1763), to the current press.The wealth of this fund resides especially in the newspapers dated in the second half of the XIX century and the first years of the XX, since the province of Canarias (province unique at that time) was one of the most fertile of Spain in production of headers of press, a circumstance derived from the remoteness of the most important distribution centers in the country.

The Elder Museum of Science and Technology is an institution for scientific dissemination. It was inaugurated in 1999 in the Santa Catalina Park in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain). This museum is managed by a foundation in which the Government of the Canary Islands participates.
