The Atlantic Center for Modern Art (Spanish: Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno) (CAAM) is a contemporary art museum in the Canary Islands, Spain. It is in Vegueta in Las Palmas, the capital city of Gran Canaria.
The building was designed by the architect Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza, retaining the façade of two older neoclassical houses.[1][2] It was opened on 4 December 1989, initially to house the collections of Canarian art of the island council, the Cabildo Insular de Gran Canaria.[3]
