Malaga Museum

Fantastic museum! The first floor is a spectacular fine art collection, absolutely stunning pieces. And then the second floor finishes knocking your socks off with an incredible archeological collection. Everything in the museum is connected to the Málaga locale. All in a gorgeous building that used to be the city’s customs house. Very recent museum, very accessible. I can’t recommend it more highly.

Large collection! From pre history, extensive ancient collection and a fine art collection. Great free storage and free entry! A spacious and beautiful building.

Vale a pena visitar quando em Málaga. Grande apresentação de uma coleção relativamente pequena de restos arqueológicos e arte em dois andares. Grátis para visitantes da UE e apenas 1,5 euros para nós, não europeus. Muitos restos romanos, incluindo um mosaico incomum sem censura. O piso da arte tem algumas peças excelentes. Uma hora em um ritmo razoável ou dois, se você quiser demorar e visualizar as apresentações de áudio.

Well worth a visit. Beautiful building and some fantastic artwork and sculptures.

Really great museum with a large collection of fine art and archeology! We spent a good couple hours here on our trip to Malaga. The building in which the museum is situated is stunning and you can relax in the courtyard or on the balconies between viewing the exhibits. The museum is free to EU citizens and €1.50 to other nationalities (which does now include UK citizens!) which is a very reasonable price for how much is at this museum. Would recommend visiting if you're on a city break to Malaga to learn more about the city and its history!

I've now been twice and I've only just gotten off the 2nd floor with the prehistoric, Roman and Arabic sections. All the exhibits are in Spanish and English and unlike some places (I'm looking at you, the Rincon Caves) the English is comprehensible. Looks like I'm going to have to make a third visit.

Very interesting museum to know more about the history and art of Málaga!

Our day at malaga museum wed 29th June 2022 well worth a visit

Interesting, history of the town needs to be read, you will need more time, but it is worth if you history and want to know about Andaluzía more.

Not massively into history like this, but it was fascinating! Such great finds and right under there feet. Beautiful exhibition.

If you enjoy art and history you will not be disappointed. Free for EU countries but otherwise reasonably priced for Non-EU. Lots to see, learn and explore.

Beautifully restored building, great historical exhibition, very nice staff, well worth a visit!

Beautiful and very cool building houses a great collection about Malaga, its history and its art. Free for EU citizens, this is every bit as good as some of the much more expensive museums in town. Good option to calm and cool down on a hit day.

Fantastic, well worth a visit, and only 3 eurofor 2 on entry. Lots to see, very interesting.

Exposição muito interessante e história da cidade. Eu particularmente amei as obras de arte. Exposições romanas e muita cerâmica através dos tempos. Belo edifício. Entrada gratuita para cidadãos da UE. Instalações de armários. Definitivamente vale a pena uma visita.

Very impressive architecture . If you like Museums you are absolutely at the right place . Must visit

Amazing museum! I'm so impressed! Must be visite by everyone, who is interested in art and history. Great collection and so much to learn.

One of the best “city museum” I have been too! It’s very modern and well organised. The building is also beautiful. The information provided was extensive which is so appreciated (other places in Malaga unfortunately don’t have an English translation). The fact that it’s free for EU members and closes late is incredible too ! Would highly recommend.

Free entry, I don't know if it was a special day or not. Beautiful building. 2nd floor Archeology with many interesting artefacts, even a few Egyptian ones. 1st floor Art. I had fallen in love with the flowers painting of Jose Maria Murillo Bracho

Great collection. Fantastic array of archaeological finds from the region and a surprisingly enjoyable art gallery too! In a beautiful building.

What a wonderful museum! It has two distinct sections: local artwork, and local history. The art section does of course have some work by local chap, Pablo Picasso; I preferred the landscapes though, which were quite astonishing. The history section talks about settlement of the area and how it was 'German-washed' during the 20th century. Moreover, it talks about the local prehistoric caves, which led to my checking out the Nerja Cave. An ideal rainy-day activity, though it's worth going at any time. EU residents can enter for free by showing their ID card. Lockers are available behind reception, and take a one euro coin. There is also a small gift store on the ground floor.

Do lado de fora do prédio parece majestoso e impressionante, o interior ainda mais! E quando eu assisti o vídeo sobre isso, tudo se juntou como um edifício muito importante para a cidade. As pessoas que trabalham aqui são super agradáveis ​​e úteis. A exposição foi muito bonita e muito para absorver. Realmente mostra o que Málaga é famoso quando se trata de arte.

Really enjoyed learning the vast history that Malaga has to offer, particularly loved learning about it's Islamic past which is still very visible in many parts of Spanish culture and architecture. Spent 3-4 hours just in the archaeological floor, which is where you should start your museum tour, so plan your day accordingly would be my advice. The first floor was interesting but personally the second floor had greater historical significance and worth takimg you time exploring. The staff at the reception area, the guard, the stewards on the museum floors, and the gift shop lady were all lovely and, despite the weak English, were helpful and welcoming. EU visitors go free but non-EU pay €1.50. Have €1 spare for the lockers to place your bags and whatever else safely away before touring the museum, although staff were able to give me a €1 sized plastic coin as I had no change. Well worth a visit if you have the time, although for the price you could get through it quickly and leave with something to remember.

Este museu é um lugar maravilhoso para se visitar. É surpreendentemente grande em mais de dois andares repletos de pinturas interessantes de artistas locais na primeira e arqueologia arquitetônica no segundo. É gratuito entrar no cidadão da UE e 1,50 € para aqueles de 3º países como O Reino Unido .. Esta é uma atração imperdível se você tiver um pouco de tempo em suas mãos e estiver interessado na história local .. altamente recomendado

Um museu incrível com dois departamentos distintos: história (arqueológica) e arte. Muito foi feito para torná -lo muito acessível e é um belo edifício. Muita informação em inglês. Estive aqui várias vezes e espero ir muitas vezes mais.

Very good archaeology department starting with the first finds in the Malaga province going all the way to the Christian reconquest. Very good overall text for each period and interesting information for why the relevant period is interesting and when research about the period started in Spain. And good maps of the province with relevant archaeological sites.

Like this museum. Awesome. More paintings than I thought (only one Picasso). Well worth visiting. Only 1.50 Euros. Beautiful building. Art on first floor, archeology on 2nd. Easy to follow phases and schools of art.Check out Lombardo's Anatomy of the heart. Unbelievable!

Great musuem, well worth a visit and only €1.50 entry fee

Great fine art in a huge building with large viewing spaces. Entry free was only 1.5 euro or free depending on where you are from.

Underated museum. The collection is fantastic. A big variety of pieces, very well organized. The building has imperial sized corridors. Highly recommend. Free for European Union citizens

Very interesting museum. First floor has art exhibition while second floor is dedicated to archaeology

Beautiful building, amazing selection of paintings and sculptures. My only issue was that it was not big enough, really enjoyed my time there, just wish I could have spent more time wondering around admiring the art! Squeaky floorboards definitely add to the ambiance.

We really enjoyed the fantastic collection of art and archeology of this museum. It's open from Tuesday to Sunday in a very convenient schedule and the EU citizens have free access. The other nationalities is only €1,50. The personel is really friendly and helpful. It is a world class facility and really worth the visit.

What a lovely museum! Saw one of my favorite painting, the one in Venice with the bridge and all the bright colors! The museum is very nice and with many COVID retrictions in place, so you’ll feel save. A thing that I loved is that from October until December is open from 9am until 9pm! So it’s a great place to visit when it is already dark outside The museum is free of charge from all from EU, which is amazing, unfortunately there isn’t many free museums around. And it’s certainly worth your while, even if you are out of EU is a 1.5€ the entrance (I think ) Go see it

Excellent museum. Free for EU citizens or €1.50 for everyone else. Took my time and strolled throughout the floors. The archaeological floor was very interesting and had many exhibits. There was also a free orchestra concert in the courtyard when I was there, which was a bonus

One of the nicest museums in Europe I've visited. Brand new and immaculate inside, this is a must visit for all who come to Malaga. It's free to all EU citizens or just €1.50 for anyone else (an absolute bargain in my opinion). The first floor boasts an enormous art collection dating from the 1700s through to the modern age. There's also a Picasso room for those who didn't get enough at his museum! The second floor contains the archaeological section of the museum with artifacts from Malaga's long, 5000 year history. This is a must.

If you visit only one museum in Málaga, it should be this one. There are two main sections: an archaeology floor that tells the history of Málaga since the Paleolithic and an art section that follows the same path but with a focus on art and the museum itself. Very educational. The tickets are very affordable and even free for EU citizens.

Nice museum, went on a weeknight and it ended up being free. We were almost the only ones at the museum and it closes pretty late. They have a small collection of Picasso as well which is nice.

This museum was one of that best I have ever visited. The artwork was really impressive and it's a place good for the art lovers, but also for people who want to see and discover some really nice piece of art.

Malaga Museum is a gem. The second floor is archeology. The first floor is paintings, very rich in content. This is a must place to visit. Museum shop has several items worth buying.

The museum has archeology, history and art in a beautiful marble building. The collection is not to big but very complete and the displays are very well made. I sincerely recommend it to any visitor in Malaga.

Fantastic museum! A blend of fashion, art, and classic as well as rate automobiles! Loved it! Best museum in Malaga!

Sitting in the middle of the city centre, this museum is well worth a visit. It's free entry to any EU citizen. It focusses on the history of Malaga (very interesting) and dates back to the time of when it was under Muslim rule. It also contains a fine art gallery with stunning painting for any art lover, I spent at least two hours looking around just this one floor. Nice just to sit and chill in the central courtyard at the end of your visit.

I had to wait over 10 years whilst the museum was being renovated but it was worth it. One of the best museums I have visited in Spain. Good clear displays, information in Spanish and English. Free to EU citizens.
