Domus, also known as the Casa del Hombre or House of Man, is an interactive museum in A Coruña, the Galician port city on Spain's northwestern Atlantic coast. It stands at Rua Santa Teresa, 1, in the city's 15002 postcode area.
The museum is devoted to human beings. Its exhibits cover anatomy, evolution and human development, and the subject is presented in a hands-on way, with visitors encouraged to explore rather than simply read labels. It suits families with children and adults who enjoy science-based displays about the body and how people have come to be what they are.
The building
Domus is also worth seeing for its architecture. The museum has a distinctive modern design, with a curved glass facade that sets it apart from the surrounding streets. Even visitors who spend little time inside will find the outside an interesting sight.

Because the museum is a single attraction, it works well as one part of a day in A Coruña. The city's harbour, its old town and its seafront are all within reach, so a visit to Domus can be combined with time spent walking along the coast or exploring the city centre. For current opening hours and ticket details, it is best to contact the museum directly before you go.
