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.

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.

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

A lovely building but the collection could do with a bit more thought. This is interesting from the point of view of the story of Spanish art through the 19th century but there are few pieces of great interest or quality.
The temporary exhibition of “Arab fantasy” was better with some excellent studies on everyday life and portraits. It begins with a few romantic-orientalist, imperialist, pictures presented with no critique that, frankly,should be burned!
Not worth €10 entry so go in the afternoon when it’s a bit cheaper or on free Sundays

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.

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.

I was fascinated by the many, many paintings of daily life about 150 years ago in Spain. The paintings were so detailed that you could stand for a long time and look at each painting of all the expressive characters and notice and enjoy many amusing details within each painting including the quality of the fabric of their clothing achieved through such mastery of their medium. There were bar brawl scenes, wedding scenes, flamenco dancing scenes out of doors and the most amusing; a monk pulling a donkey who will not budge much to the amusement of his fellow monks. I really enjoyed this museum!

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!

A (small ) nice collection and interesting temporary exhibitions. Always worth a visit when in Malaga. The Thyssen museum always surprises with a different perspective. The Arab paintings (Dec 2019) are wonderful and so is the audio comment.

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.

I would like to know if there is a parking area near the museum as I shall be visiting by car.

The museum is on a pedestrian street in the old town. I don't know about parking as we visited on foot, sorry. It is a much smaller museum than the one in Madrid but worth a visit. Have a lovely trip...
