Malaga · Old town and Cathedral

Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga

A museum of Spanish painting from the 19th century, mostly Andalusian scenes, in a restored palace in the old town. It is small enough for a short visit.

The museum is built around the collection of Carmen Cervera, shown in a palace on Calle Compañía. Most pictures are Spanish landscapes, village scenes and portraits from the 19th century, with a strong Andalusian slant. A part of the visit takes you down to the remains of an old building under the museum. The rooms are small, so the visit stays unhurried.

What to look for

  • Andalusian landscapes and village scenes
  • Portraits and still lifes in the upper rooms
  • Archaeological site under the museum
  • Palace courtyard
