Carmen Thyssen Museum
Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga
A museum of 19th-century Spanish and Andalusian painting housed in a 16th-century palace. Its genre scenes and landscapes are excellent.
The Carmen Thyssen Museum opened in 2011. It is built around the collection of Baroness Thyssen and focuses on 19th-century Spanish painting, especially scenes of Andalusian life, such as bullfighting, flamenco and rural life. It also includes works by masters such as Sorolla. The building is the Renaissance-era Palacio de Villalón. Entry costs about €10, covering the permanent collection and temporary exhibitions, and it is free on Sunday afternoons. It is in the historic centre and works well as a companion visit to the Picasso Museum.
