We visited the museum mainly for the reason of having lunch in the restaurant which had been recommended to us. We enjoyed the Menú del Día which was excellent value at €12.90, very tasty and served in pleasant surroundings. A good place to head for if you're in the middle of Málaga and wanting lunch. We will definitely be back.

This is a collection of Spanish paintings (primarily) tyhat we very much enjoyed. They also had a temporary exhibit that we didn't particularly love, but it was OK. I'd go for the Spanish paintings, and allow about 2 hours. It is not a large collection, but that lets you take your time.

The Carmen Thyssen Museum is a gem! We knew very little about Spanish art and were blown away by the 19th century landscape, genre and portrait paintings we saw there. There were also two fabulous photography exhibitions, Fervor de Bueno Aires and Street Life: Lisette Model y Helen Levitt en Nueva York

Every time we come to Malaga, we have to visit this Museum. In a lovely building but more than that it is a finely curated collection of art from the past 2 centuries. Some naturalist, some impressionist, all powerful Spanish images with remarkable use of light. It is well worth the fee and can by visited in 1 - 3 hours, depending on how engaged you become.

We went there for the termporary exhibition of Belgian Art, wonderful that was, but were also surprised by the permanent collection. Worth a visit

This is a small gallery covering Spanish art from about 1860 to the First World War. It follows a definite theme and has lovely paintings by artists who should be better known . When we were there it had an exhibition of Belgian art of the same period which we enjoyed very much

If you only visit one gallery in Malaga - visit this one ! The art is displayed on 3 floors - the lowest floor being the oldest work, progressing to more modern work on the top floor. It was a real lesson in the way that art works have changed and developed over the centuries

A beautiful building and a great, well=explained collection of Spanish art through more than 200 years. I loved the temporary exhibit on Belgian impressionists the best, but would recommend all to visit.

A must if you are in Malaga. A really well displayed collection of unusual turn-of-the 20th century Spanish paintings (as well as much else). An interesting comparison with the Picasso Museum collection of paintings by Picasso at a similar time.

Countess and international socialite Carmen Thyssen obviously assembled her impressively deep collection of Spanish art from the mid-19th to early 20th Centuries with an eye to the paintings' purpose. Some of the most interesting were genre paintings that bordered on kitsch -- rosy-cheeked maidens at grilled windows entertaining suitors, peasants dancing at festivals, brawls disrupting taverns. Many of these were executed in 12" X 18" formats so that 19th Century tourists could transport them back to England or America as souvenirs. One whole gallery was devoted to seascapes, several of them large format. The most technically impressive paintings showed interior scenes, such as altar boys in a cathedral, with remarkably rendered silks and brodades.

If you want to while away a couple of hours then you need look no further.A few old masters and a smattering of fin de sickle and insight to Spanish bullfighting life as well as social country life in bygone Sp ain

We visited the museum in the middle of the pandemic and it was a real pleasure. Very few visotors, very well organised and, most important, the art collection is beautiful. A lot of paintings with Andalusian usual sujects by various Spanish artists, most of them less known. A must visit place.

This is a little expensive but it is good value. An online audio guide is available so make sure your phone has a good charge and earphones. The building itself is also interesting Currently no left luggage is available- you must carry your bags The cafe is quite good for a break. Allow at least an hour but easy to spend 2 hours.

What a fabulous museum. We spent quite some time wandering around the rooms looking at all the beautiful art. They also had some live music and dance taking place. Ended our visit with a sandwich and orange juice from the cafe which was excellent.

We thought this was one of the highlights on a cultural tour of Malaga. The many paintings in this art gallery are mostly by Spanish artists & are absolutely wonderful. Many are so memorable & depict how life was in years gone by, with many village scenes & local events. The colours are exceptionally vibrant & they are definitely a great treasure for Malaga to have right in the centre of the old town. The building has four floors & there's a lift for easier access. The top floor seems to be reserved for temporary exhibitions & we were lucky enough to be there when the Arabian Fantasy collection was on view. A definite must when in Malaga!
