Because of the different openinghours we only had about half an hour to explore this gem... too bad, there was a lot to see, good english booklet with explanations, interpretations... Since the history museum was closed, this was the best we could do in sense of getting a grip on Malaga history. I enjoyed the rooms on the first floor... More

This museum gave an idea of clothes, furnishings, livelihoods and past times of old Malaga. Highlights were the christening robes, toys, and room reconstructions.

A delightful place to explore! This museum is located in an old Posada (Inn) in the centre of Málaga just a couple of hundred metres up from the Centro de Artes y Costumbres. Again, just the other side of the road from the river. Ten to fifteen minutes walk from the Maria Zambrano Railway Station, ten from the Alameda Principal... More

For a visit to Malaga make this museum number one on your list to get a real feeling for the history of Malaga as told by the artifacts, the "things", preserved from Malaga's past. It is a charming old house by the river on Pasillo de Santa isabel,10. Even on a sunny day the house, formerly a 17th century inn,... More

Great little museum. Quiet tricky to find as are all the Museums in Malaga. Costumbres means customs ...so it is not a costume museum but there are a few. It is a museum of historical daily life showing old carriages, fishing stuff,farming, children's toys etc. very interesting but quiet small.

This gem of a museum is housed in a building over two floors surrounding a courtyard. Each of the 18 rooms is devoted to themes from both urban and rural life around Malaga towards the end of the 19th century. It's obviously been carefully laid out with an amazing collection of objects. It must be delightful to sit around the... More

This is an small interesting museum on the way the Spanish used to live and work. It takes about an hour to fully do it justice and is good value at €4. The museum's set in an old villa with a beautiful central courtyard if you need somewhere to sit and reflect. Well worth a visit.

Blink and you'll walk past this as it's on a busy road by the river in Malaga close to the market and set down from the road. A real shame if you do. Venture in and it is one of those places that is so absorbing and the day we were there we had it almost to ourselves. The building... More

This museum is quite interesting, although it is not famous. For me I enjoy seeing the big paintings of Anita Delgado. Reading her life, she had an extraordinary life, getting married to the Maharaja of Kapurtala. She was born in Malaga. There is much to see in this museum.
