Malaga Museum

I spent 3 hours exploring this museum. It was my last day in Málaga and the air conditioning so welcome on such a hot day. The building itself is a beautiful building with a lot of history. The entry fee is very low but free if you’re a citizen of the EU. Bring ID to prove this. They have lockers to store bags etc. Despite the age of the building, it is extremely accessible with elevators on both sides and bathrooms on each floor. Part of the display shows the story of the building itself and how the museum came to be housed in there. I was traveling solo and this meant I could explore at my own pace. I started off on the bottom floor and worked my way up. I took a break in the second floor and sat on the stunning outdoor balcony overlooking the interior patio for a while. I used the beautiful staircase instead of the elevators. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I stopped at every display reading the information, hence the 3 hour visit! Highly recommend this museum as a place for all ages to visit.

Really enjoyed the timeline of Spanish art's rise and development. The archaeological piece, the telling of the area's change in hands and the impact on the people here was also very interesting. What is super fun is that I visited the botanical gardens and saw the influential family's initial "museum" of local archaeological finds and they are all on display here, in person. Very interesting.

Museo de Málaga is definitely worth a visit! The entry is very cheap, and they even provide lockers to store your bag, which is super convenient. The museum itself is cool and comfortable. It's perfect if you need a short escape from the hot Malaga sun. The staff are welcoming and kind, even if there’s a bit of a language barrier. Honestly, I loved it and would highly recommend stopping by when you’re in Málaga!

For me this museum wasn’t that interesting - there are mostly painting from Spanish artists and if you don’t know that much about local art, you probably won’t enjoy it that much. The archeological part of the museum was more interesting for me. Also, it’s situated in a really beautiful building that is worth seeing!

Amazing museum please visit once in Malaga. For EU citizens it's for free People from other countries pay 1,5 euros It's two floors one for Arts and the second for archeology. Very interesting!!

Is there a better way to time-travel than stepping into Málaga’s vibrant past? This museum is a gem art, history, and culture collide in the most captivating way. The Roman mosaics are stunning, but the real surprise? Málaga’s been a cultural hotspot for over 2,800 years, and you can feel every century in these halls. A must-visit if you’re in town!

Interesting and modern museum located in a beautiful palace. Almost all of the signs are also in English. There are two parts - art and archeology, so you get a bit of everything. Entrance is free for EU citizens.

We only visited the paintings section, especially the fin de siècle period. They have a vast collection of paintings with a connection to Malaga. Many pieces are borrowed from Madrid's Prado gallery. I enjoyed my visit very much. Also, the museum is free for EU citizens.

When I read that Museo de Málaga had an archaeology collection, I was sold and made this museum my first to visit. Because it was Sunday, there was no admission fee. Additionally, there was an orchestra playing in the courtyard, but you needed a ticket for a seat in the audience. At the time I arrived, there were no more tickets for seats. Included in the collection are findings from the Cave of Nerja which shows how Homo sapians-sapians lived during the last Ice Age, grave goods, and Phoenician tomb findings. At the time the Phoenicians settled in Málaga mining for silver, the people were under Assyrian rule, whose currency was based on silver. Exhibits are well curated and have both English and Spanish explanations.

Very nice museum. It's easy to forget that Malaga is rich in history going from the moors to the Romans back thousands of years. Here they have a display with millions of ruins. There are 3 floors with ruins and paintings. Give yourself a few hours to walk around and take in the history.
