- Museo Carmen Thyssen Malaga - Since 1992 the Thyssen family’s art collection has been on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. However, Carmen Thyssen has been an art collector in her own right since the 1980s, and her personal collection is shown separately across the most beautiful cities in Spain. In 1999, she agreed to display many items from her collection in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum for a period of twelve years. Meanwhile, a home for her collection was sought in Málaga. This museum, a conversion of a sixteenth-century building, opened to the public on 24 March 2011.
The Carmen Thyssen Museum of Malaga is dedicated to conservation, research and the dissemination of the Carmen Thyssen Collection in order to emphasize the value of Spanish painting, especially that of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, fully referenced in its historical and artistic context, for the understanding of all audiences, which forms part of Malaga’s strategy as a cultural city.

Amazing, do not miss this! - We were really surprised how good this gallery was and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.The gallery is large,bright with lots of amazing beautiful and interesting pictures showing Spanish life over the past few hundred years.I had not heard of any of the painters but preferred this gallery to the Picasso one.It also has big lifts to each floor, nice clean toilets and a great restaurant.My top tip is to do lunch at the restaurant, it is quiet, has air con and lovely food at reasonable prices and is a a great option when all the restaurants in town are busy.

Wonderful guided tour - For the day of Andalusia we have enjoyed the wonderful guided tour led by Yésica. We found it very entertaining and didactic. We will return to continue learning and enjoying.

Fabulous Works of Art - The museum is housed in a 16th-century city palace, which is a work of art all on its own. The court yard is magnificent, and once you're finished exploring it, there are three floors of fabulous art to see. Highly recommend.

Great Sorolla exhibition - The lady on reception was excellent. On arrival as I use a walking stick she offered me the use of a wheelchair.It was done subtlety and without fuss and much appreciated. The building and exhibition was fabulous

Not most modern, but worth it - Bit of a dusty museum, not the most modern.
Does give a good picture of history.
Logical progress and good lighting.

Good - Decent museum, I like it a lot. Remember you can get into most museums free Sunday afternoons (including this and the Picasso museum) if you are ok with waiting a little in a queue.

Good visit - We enjoyed the quieter streets on our way to the art gallery / museum. The 19th century Spanish paintings were excellent , the Nudes temporary exhibition interesting. Cafe was good ,( 10% discount with entrance ticket apparently :), we didn’t realise.

A stunning collection of artworks in a lovely modern and open gallery - I really enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the museum. Some of the detail in the artworks was astounding! There is a large lift for good accessibility so three floors was no problem. Nice gallery shop too.

Museum Thyssen FoundationDo you think about the disabled?No! - Good morning, I wanted to tell you about my experience trying to enter this museum in Malaga. Well, I have a disability and I have to move with companion, I was free but my companion was asked for 10 euros to enter. So we did not think it was okay since in the other places we went from Malaga we did not have the same thing when accessing are problems.
