10 Specialty Museums in Malaga That You Shouldn't Miss
Malaga is one of the oldest cities in the world, founded in the 8th century by the Phoenicians. Today, art is everywhere-- you can experience exhibits dedicated to glass and crystal, classic cars, contemporary installations, and, of course, the works of Picasso, who was born here. Wander past banana trees and beautiful fountains as you walk through Paseo del Parque, then hit the old city to quench your thirst at a Spanish tavern.

We were amazed at the collection and charmed by this unique place. The aristocratic owner of the house gives the tour. He's been developing the collection since he was 9 years old. His passion and affection for his beautiful collection is infectious. We were encouraged to get up close things to really look and at times even touch! Furniture and paintings of his ancestors complement the collection. Thank goodness he saved all these delicate objects from oblivion. I would recommend this tour for adults and young adults.

The same complex - a converted tobacco factory - that houses the Russian Museum also contains this unique place. It is a combination of automobile history - with emphasis on its beginnings and the classic cars - with the female fashion of the times as well as with history, highlighting the famous people who owned or drove several of the exhibits. Very much worth a visit, even for those who are not fans of cars or lovers of fashion.

Our Philosophy: Aircraft are not for show, they are meant to be touched. The museum is open to all, whether you are new to aviation or not. All who want to help out have their place as a Museum Friend. We want to make aviation approachable to everyone. We are one of the few museums worldwide that allow free entry to its aircraft cockpits on demand. Flying today has become so routine that we sometimes forget the magic that is rising into the air like a bird, and soaring through the sky. So we want to show you all aspects of aviation in an approachable way; so that you feel completely at home. Our aircraft are restored selflessly by our volunteers: we gladly open their doors for you, because we believe sitting at a pilot's seat is an enriching experience.

This Museum is near the harbour and very easy to access by bus. Here is a tip! Buy a 10 journey bus ticket for under €9 approx , the public bus service is fantastic!I I was very pleased with my visit. I love art and found a fabulous 20th Century collection of Posters from the first half of the 20th Century. There was a lovely little area with computers which seemed to be for children as it had some monitors you could touch and models. Me being a big kid tried them out!! Its not a huge museum and would take less than an hour to go through. It has a lift. The price is free!!!! for European Passport holders and only €1.50 for others. Its not far from the Pompidou Centre. The staff there were really friendly and helpful. I even got a nice small guide for €3 "Breve Guia" in Spanish. There are lovely places to walk nearby and plenty of places to eat for all budgets.

The Museum Jorge Rando, which is dedicated to the painter of the same name, is an institution which houses the works of this artist from Málaga and whose mission will focus on the study, research, knowledge and dissemination of expressionism, in the broadest sense of the phrase, from the final decades of the19th century to the present. It was inaugurated at the beginning of June.
