In 2023 the centenary of the birth in Jerez of Lola Flores is celebrated. Coinciding with this event, a Lola Flores Interpretation Center has been inaugurated that brings together more than 200 objects that review the life and work of the most universal artist from Jerez. It joins the museums of other great Cádiz flamenco and copla museums such as the one that Chipiona dedicates to Rocío Jurado and San Fernando to Camarón de la Isla.
In the case of the Lola Flores Interpretation Center in Jerez, her family, especially her daughters Rosario and Lolita, have been very involved in the project, which pays homage to the legacy of La Faraona through the personal objects on display.
The collection has 200 pieces, including some of Lola Flores’s jewelry and batas de cola, combs, fans, shoes and prizes, among other pieces donated by residents of Jerez, collectors and individuals from all over the world. The family has chosen the Jerez-born jeweler Ignacio Roldán to catalog the approximately 40 jewels by the artist on display; These are unique jewels, both replicas and originals. In addition, the Jerez City Council has launched a website so that anyone who has a memory of La Faraona can donate it to the museum.
The museum space, which includes the annex “Tablao de Lola Flores”, will be complemented by a third area, called “Tabanco de Lola Flores”, which will be used for book presentations, shows and other events. The aim is to preserve the typically Andalusian façade of the building and create a flower-filled outdoor patio that reflects the essence of Jerez. The store and temporary exhibitions are also located in this place.
