A very interesting museum located in historic center with art work varied from ancient times to near present. Fantastic courtyard and places to sit and enjoy the atmosphere. The museum is free for EU citizens. Highly recommended.

There are some interesting things to see. I am not a huge fan of museums however I like architecture and enjoyed bit of that by visiting this museum. Place is kept clean and at free entry for EU citizens and very cheap entry for others it makes this place must see when visiting Malaga. We visited on Saturday, it wasn’t busy at all.

I really liked the museum. Archaeological, artistic and historical exhibitions are combined here. So there really is a lot to see. I also really liked the fact that in addition to the main exhibition, the museum also has an open storage room and you can view exhibits that were not included in the main exhibition. Highly recommend this place!

This is a must see, woow, what a museum! Don't forget to bring your EU ID with you - otherwise entry fee is 1.5 EUR

Paid only around 1 Euro, maybe 1.50, and got to see a lot of beautiful Art and sculptures. There are three floors, 1 Paintings, 1 Sculptures and 1 relicts, vases. There are lockers for your bags in different sizes. Lovely women at the entrance. Sadly I couldn't walk outside. They have a beautiful terrace. I'm not sure if it's open on other days

Really strong collection of local Art ranging from traditional to Cubist to contemporary pieces. I was genuinely surprised by the quality of the collection considering it's not a stand alone specific gallery

Fantastic free museum in the city center. Totally worth a visit. I spent there just over an hour.

Some of the best things you've experienced on a trip are sometimes the ones that were free. Here you see a wide selection of pottery, coins, arrow tops from stone age, walls, mosaics, painting, weapons, coffins and more. Even though it's in the heart of the city it's still quiet and peaceful, no long lines, to get in and staff there are extremely friendly. This place is a must see. By the way it's free for EU citizens but I don't think it's expensive for others. It's worth it!

When I read that Museo de Málaga had an archaeology collection, I was sold and made this museum my first to visit. Because it was Sunday, there was no admission fee. Additionally, there was an orchestra playing in the courtyard, but you needed a ticket for a seat in the audience. At the time I arrived, there were no more tickets for seats. Included in the collection are findings from the Cave of Nerja which shows how Homo sapians-sapians lived during the last Ice Age, grave goods, and Phoenician tomb findings. At the time the Phoenicians settled in Málaga mining for silver, the people were under Assyrian rule, whose currency was based on silver. Exhibits are well curated and have both English and Spanish explanations.

Very nice museum. It's easy to forget that Malaga is rich in history going from the moors to the Romans back thousands of years. Here they have a display with millions of ruins. There are 3 floors with ruins and paintings. Give yourself a few hours to walk around and take in the history.
