About
The Museo de Málaga brings together two collections that once stood apart: the former Archaeological Museum and the former Fine Arts Museum. Both now share the restored Palacio de la Aduana, a building in the centre of Málaga, on the Plaza de la Aduana in Andalusia, Spain. It is also known in English as the Malaga Museum.
What you will see
The museum's displays run from prehistoric times to contemporary art, so a single visit can move through many periods. Among the holdings are archaeological artifacts that reflect the long history of the region, alongside a fine arts collection that reaches into more recent work. The range makes it a good choice if you enjoy tracing how a place and its art change over time.
Planning your visit
- Address: Plaza de la Aduana s/n, 29015 Málaga, Spain
- Telephone: +34 951 912 180, useful for checking current arrangements before you set out
- Setting: the restored palace itself is part of the experience, as the building has been adapted to house both collections
Because the museum sits in the heart of Málaga, it pairs easily with a walk through the historic centre and a stop at the port area nearby. Allow time to wander between rooms at an unhurried pace, since the chronological span rewards slow looking rather than a quick tour.
