More and more pet-friendly museums are betting on the inclusion of our pets in cultural activities. Did you know there are museums in Spain where you can enjoy art and history with your best four-legged friend? Here we tell you which ones they are and how to make the most of the experience!
Why visit a museum with your pet?
Sharing cultural experiences with your furry friend strengthens the bond and is an excellent opportunity for socialisation. However, it is essential that your pet is well-prepared for new environments full of stimuli. For example, bringing some natural treats can help keep their attention and reward good behaviour during the visit.
The best pet-friendly museums in Spain
Museum of History of Madrid (Madrid): This museum allows pets as long as they are well-controlled and supervised by their owners. It is ideal for walking through its outdoor courtyards and learning about the city’s history.
Canary Museum (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria): A place full of history and Canary culture where small dogs can enter in a carrier. After the visit, you can reward your furry friend with our natural ice creams, perfect for cooling off in the warm island climate.
Bonsai Museum (Marbella): Enjoy a walk among impressive bonsais while your pet relaxes with you. Remember to keep their skin and pads in optimal condition with the pad repair balm, especially if there are stony areas.
Museum of Human Evolution (Burgos): Although pets are not allowed inside, the gardens and outdoor areas are perfect for a walk.
Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA): The museum itself does not allow pets inside, but the surrounding plaza has become an iconic meeting point for dogs and owners. Take advantage of the lively atmosphere to socialise.
