The
Museum of Magic Kiko Pastur
is one of the most unique museum spaces in Santiago de Compostela and practically the only one of its kind in Galicia.
It was founded by Kiko Pastur himself, a figure with 20 years of experience as a performer, disseminator and teacher.
The aim is to raise awareness of this discipline in an interactive and playful way, functioning as a meeting point for professionals and fans of magic in Galicia.
Very close to the Cathedral and in the historic center of the city, the museum is located in front of the church of San Martiño Pinario, in an area famous for its hostels, catering establishments and with a significant flow of tourists.
The Museum of Magic has a permanent and interactive exhibition of optical illusions, historical pieces and gadgets related to this discipline. Visitors who enter the building can also enjoy live demonstrations and performances by real professionals in the field of illusionism.
The enclosure hosts reproductions of some of the most famous numbers in the history of magic, such as Houdini’s escapism in a water tank, as well as a series of objects related to this field with which visitors can interact.
Admission is offered in the form of a 45-minute guided tour, available in different shifts throughout the day, and the museum’s own website offers an online reservation service.
These guided tours are conducted in Galician, Spanish and English and are adapted to all types of audiences.
The museum also has a magic gift store, a book shop, and a magic initiation store, and the activities offered include a program of shows, training courses and lectures.
To enjoy this peculiar installation, the price for a guided visit is 5 euros. Visiting hours are from Tuesday to Sunday from 11:00 am to 1:45 pm and from 5:00 pm to 8:45 pm.
