Málaga, home to spanish and international museums
In the past few years, Málaga has become a favourite choice for the world’s top museums, which have settled in town to show their collections to visitors from around the globe. These museums’ galleries attest to Málaga’s international flair, showcasing the works of the old masters and contemporary artists.
Some of them are listed below.
Picasso museum
In answer to Pablo Ruiz Picasso’s wish for a place in his native city where his work could be shown to society, the Museo Picasso Málaga was inaugurated in 2003.
The institution has become since then fundamental for an understanding of the rich development of local culture. The museum is both a landmark and a magnet, as well as a key symbolic referent for anyone living in the capital of the Costa del Sol. For those drawn to Málaga from all parts of the world by the talent and fame of the most important painter of the 20th century, it is moreover an invitation to learn at close hand about the life and work of the locally born artist.
Centre Pompidou Málaga
The center proposes all public to feel the experience of the Centre Pompidou through its wealthy collection, its excellent schedules, the mutual interference of artistic disciplines and its innovative mediation programs. Malaga, birthplace of Picasso and an international tourist destination place, positions the culture and the museums in the center of a new stage of its development
Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga
The permanent collection rooms at the Carmen Thyssen Málaga Museum offer a journey through Spanish art of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries, with special emphasis on Andalusian landscape painting and traditional scenes. The works belong to Baroness Carmen Thyssen’s private collection – more than 200 pieces, including a fine selection of works of the Old Masters (thirteenth to eighteenth centuries).

Russian Museum Collection, St. Petersburgo-Málaga
The Russian Museum Collection is housed in the building of the old tobacco factory, known as La Tabacalera – perhaps the finest example of architectural regionalism in Málaga, dating from the 1920s.
The Russian Museum Collection, St. Petersburg-Málaga has had its programme disrupted, but activity has not been interrupted. The Museum is now reopening with a Picasso exhibition, showing works from the Picasso House Museum.
