Museo del Vidrio y Cristal de Málaga

This was probably my best experience in Malaga. I was initially interested in visiting this museum as I simply enjoy looking at the various painted glass, but I got far more than I expected. The visit to the museum can only be done with a guided tour, and I chose the tour in Spanish. I came early in the day when the museum just opened, and I was the only one there, so at first I didn't feel comfortable having that much of a 'private' tour, but the lady who was my guide did a great job, so I quickly felt at ease. And then I got to hear amazing stories connecting glass to society itself and human condition. I was amazed with the knowledge I got. It was such a pleasure to listen to the guide, I was so caught up with the information and the passionate way the stories were told. I can't believe what I got for only 7 euros. If I ever go back to Malaga, I would visit this museum at least two more times.

Superb museum that would be easy to overlook when there are so many more obvious attractions in Malaga. Set in a beautiful period house, this place so much more than a museum of glass. Our English speaking Slovenian guide was superb, putting the artworks into their historical context and bringing the displays to life. Allow at least 90 minutes - 2 hours.

I would 100% recommend visiting - it is a private collection and the owner (Gonzalo) was incredibly nice and fun. He showed us around and told stories about the many things in the house. The house itself is worth a visit and the furniture and paintings are part of the experience. You can't go around the museum alone, but I would come back for the tour anyway, despite not usually preferring guided tours. It's only 7 euros, which is super cheap for what is offered. Very memorable experience.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Málaga: The Glass Museum If you’re visiting Málaga and looking for a truly special experience, the Museum of Glass and Crystal is an absolute must. It’s not your typical museum, it’s a personal, warm, and culturally rich adventure, especially when guided by the museum’s very own founder and owner of the villa that hosts it. 📜 A Tour That Feels Like a Conversation with a Passionate Friend A visit with the owner as your guide is more than just a walk through displays – it feels like an interactive storytelling session. Every piece comes with stories filled with humor, history, and family anecdotes that turn the glass objects into soulful works of art. 🧠 True Expertise with a Bohemian Twist The guide is a true expert in art and glass history, but what makes him unique is his mix of deep knowledge and a relaxed, bohemian spirit. This unconventional combination brings charm and ease to the entire visit. He is the most upper class self proclaimed hippie I have ever met. 🔮 A Museum That Tells Personal Stories Each item is connected to the founder’s life and family, and you can feel it in the way they’re presented – with warmth, wit, and passion. From antique stained glass to unique decorative pieces, everything draws you into a fascinating world of craftsmanship and refinement. 📍The Glass Museum of Málaga proves that art takes on a whole new meaning when shared with passion. Go for the glass. Stay for the stories.

One of the best parts of our trip to Malaga! We had an amazing time being shown around this collection. Our guide was super knowledgeable about everything and made an effort to show us things we might be interested in, since we mentioned we came from Scotland! The collection itself is incredible and very well curated with some really impressive pieces. Would really highly recommend this place to anyone interested!

One of the most impressive places in Malaga. Ticket price is 7 euros with a guide. A guide is a must and I was very happy with the girl who lovingly and enthusiastically told me about all the exhibits in the museum in detail that I might have missed if I had been there on my own. I was impressed by the abundance of the collection and its diversity, because it is not only glass products but also paintings, furniture, interiors, and even a robot by Andy Warhol

Awesome museum, you should absolutely go there if you’re in Málaga, really an amazing experience:)

Absolutely incredible experience. A fascinating combination of the ancient and modern, a synthesis of chemistry, art, fashion and design. We had a lovely tour and learnt so much from our gracious and knowledgeable host who both educated and entertained in equal measure.
