Centre Pompidou Malaga, Malaga

The Centre Pompidou Malaga, inaugurated on March 28, 2015, marks the first branch of the prestigious Parisian institution outside France. Located in the El Cubo, a striking cultural building overlooking Malaga’s marina, this innovative museum offers visitors a gateway to explore the art of the 20th and 21st centuries. Originally established as a five-year venture, its success prompted an extension of its partnership with the city until March 2025.

The museum boasts an impressive permanent collection of over 80 works by world-renowned artists, including Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Rene Magritte, Francis Bacon, Frida Kahlo, and Alberto Giacometti. The exhibitions are divided into thematic sections such as The Metamorphosis, The Body in Pieces, The Political Body, Self-Portraits, and The Man Without a Face. These themes highlight both the diversity and depth of modern and contemporary art.

Spanning 2,000 square meters, the Centre Pompidou Malaga also hosts temporary exhibitions each year, focusing on various disciplines like photography, design, architecture, and video art. Complementing the exhibitions is a vibrant program of cultural activities, including dance, performance, film, and interactive workshops aimed at younger audiences, making the museum a dynamic cultural hub.

As a city with a rich artistic heritage and the birthplace of Picasso, Malaga has embraced the Centre Pompidou as a cornerstone of its cultural renaissance. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the innovative and multidisciplinary spirit of one of the world’s most iconic art institutions, all set against the picturesque backdrop of Malaga's bustling port.
