The Galician Museum of Contemporary Art does not have prayer facilities for Muslim visitors. Those visiting the museum and requiring prayer facilities will therefore either have to find a place to offer their prayers in the secluded Bonaval Park next door, or they will have to offer their prayers in their hotel rooms, since the city of Santiago does not have a mosque.
The Galician Museum of Contemporary Art has a cafeteria for those looking to get a bite to eat. While the food served here will not be Halal certified, Muslims visiting the museum are sure to find a variety of vegetarian and seafood dishes to dine on. They must however make sure that these dishes do not consist of any non-Halal items.
