Museo Alborania is an interactive museum in Málaga, on the Andalusian coast of southern Spain. It is dedicated to the marine ecosystem of the Mediterranean Sea, with a particular focus on the Alboran Sea, the westernmost part of the Mediterranean, which lies between Spain and Morocco. It is also known as the Alborania Museum.
The museum is located at the Palmeral de las Sorpresas on Muelle Dos in the Port of Málaga, so it sits close to the water and the harbour area of the city. Its exhibits are designed to be educational and hands-on, and they explore marine conservation, giving visitors a way to understand the sea and the life it supports.
What to expect
- Interactive displays about the Mediterranean marine ecosystem
- Educational material on the Alboran Sea and its wildlife
- Themes of marine conservation and why the sea needs protecting
The museum suits families, school groups and anyone curious about the sea who wants more than a quick look at the waterfront. Because it is set at the port, it can easily be combined with a walk along the harbour and the seafront promenade.
Planning your visit
For opening hours, prices and current arrangements, it is best to check directly with the museum before you go. You can call them on +34 952 229 178.
