Museo del Calamar Gigante

Local nameCentro de interpretación del Calamar Gigante
LocationLuarca, Spain

Museo del Calamar Gigante is a natural history museum located in Luarca, Asturias, Spain.

The original museum, opened in 2010, was administered by the marine conservation group CEPESMA and held the association's cephalopod collections together with other marine exhibits. It was described as the only museum in the world dedicated to the giant squid and held one of the world's most important collections of large cephalopods, including the largest collection of giant squid on public display.

Opened in August 2010, the museum was badly damaged by a storm in November of the same year and largely destroyed by another storm in February 2014. As the museum had been a major tourist attraction and an important contributor to Luarca's economy, there was strong local support for its reconstruction or relocation.
