starts with a tour of the building and ends with viewing
the paintings and sculptures of incalculable historic and
artistic value.
- Fine
Art Museum in Malaga
The Fine Arts Museum is found in the old palace of the Bellavista
counts, an impressive building with a simple Renaissance
façade through which you enter a serene cloistered
patio.
- Pablo
Ruiz Picasso Foundation
This gallery's owners have tried to exhibit rather classic
paintings - in particular still-lifes and seascapes - and
paintings by local artists. Most of the painters on exhibit
are not very well-known, though this is a good space to
show their work in, often meaning the first step on the
road to success. The rather limited exhibition space is
very well compensated with excellent lighting, which makes
the place look bigger. They offer a home-delivery service,
and the prices are negotiable.
- Popular
Arts & Customs Museum
The Museum of Popular Arts is situated in the pasillo de
Santa Isabel which runs alongside the Guadalmedina river.
It shows the customs and traditions of 18th and 19th century
Malaga. The building, constructed in the 17th century, used
to be an inn, the Mesón de la Victoria, whose owners
prided themselves on maintaining the best guest house of
the era. The house has two floors and inside a central patio
containing a spring and well. Next to the patio even the
old stable is preserved, where carriages of the era are
still kept today.
