Domus : info and guided tour

Introduction to Domus

Domus, also known as the House of Man, is a science museum in A Coruña dedicated to the human body and its functions. Located near the seafront at 91 R. Ángel Rebollo, it is one of the city’s best-known cultural venues and attracts both families and school groups.

The building is famous for its highly distinctive architecture, designed by Arata Isozaki. Its curved façade, clad in stone panels, evokes a sail or a hull facing the ocean, in dialogue with A Coruña’s coastal landscape. This silhouette makes it one of the city’s most iconic contemporary buildings.

Inside, Domus offers an interactive journey through anatomy, the senses, perception, and how the body works. The museum stands out for its educational exhibits, hands-on experiences, and immersive spaces, designed to make science accessible without sacrificing rigor.

Its reputation also comes from its strong cultural identity: Domus does more than exhibit; it invites visitors to understand the relationship between human beings, knowledge, and the city. Its place within A Coruña’s museum network makes it a must-see for anyone interested in science museums in Spain.
