We suggest combining this activity with a walk in Malaga Park and/or a visit of the Cathedral

Meta review

The museum is not the most proactive in advertising itself, but visitors are very complimentary about the comprehensive content that allows one to discover some Spanish painters from the 19th & 20th century and gain a better understanding of the Malaga region through the archaeological exhibits. Positive comments about the spacious building and entrance being either free or cheap.

Environmental & Social

We could find no information around environmental sustainability. Positive from a social perspective by helping spread the arts and preserve the region's historical and archaeological heritage

Conclusion

The Museum of Malaga is easily one of the best cultural attractions in Malaga, providing both historical insights about the region and the opportunity to discover some national artists. The near absence of entry fee and attractive building are additional draws.
