Centre Pompidou Málaga is a branch of the Parisian museum of the same name, set on Muelle Uno in the port of Málaga, in Andalusia, Spain. It is devoted to modern and contemporary art, and its home is as much a draw as its collection.
The building
The museum occupies a colourful cube-shaped structure that stands out against the harbour. Its bright, geometric form makes it one of the most recognisable architectural landmarks on the waterfront, and many visitors come as much to see the building from the outside as to go in.
What a visit offers
- Modern and contemporary art, presented in a museum that carries the name of its Parisian parent.
- A setting on the working port, with the sea and the ships close at hand.
- A cube building that works as a landmark for anyone exploring the area.
Because the museum sits on the port, it makes a natural stop when you are walking between the harbour and the city's other sights. It suits anyone with an interest in contemporary art, and those who enjoy striking architecture.
