Malaga Museum

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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.

For EU citizens entrance is free. Huge lockers for backpacks and they also stored our sunshade. Beautiful building, lot of items to see with a lot of description. Totally recommended.

€1.50 for UK visitors. Free for EU. Big collection of art and artifacts, focusing on Malaga's history, artists and their presentation over the years. Open storehouse section was particularly engaging and something different to most museum displays . Provenance and historiography of items and the city's past are well communicated alongside the facts you'd explain. The section covering the Islamic periods could do more to highlight Moorish and Arab scholars, who are recoeginsed in quotes and information relating to particular items - but absent from the main historical narratives.

It's a must-see. There are non permanent exhibitions along with the permanent ones. You can learn much about the history of the city itself and the surrounding areas, presented in a very logical order within the very beautiful building the museum.

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.
