The Carmen Thyssen Museum Málaga, also known as the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga, is an art museum in the historic centre of Málaga, in Andalusia, Spain. It stands at Calle Compañía 10, a short walk from the city's old streets and squares.
What you will see
The museum holds an important collection of 19th-century Spanish painting, with a particular emphasis on Andalusian art. For visitors interested in how the region was seen and depicted in that period, the collection offers a focused and rewarding look at the subject.
The building
The museum occupies a restored 16th-century palace. Walking through its rooms means moving between the setting of an older building and the paintings displayed within it, which gives the visit a character of its own.
