Pompidou Museum, Málaga

As we all know, Paris is the heart of European art. In the city’s museums, we can admire the works of the greatest figures in the art world.

Specifically, the Centre Pompidou in Paris was opened in 1977, becoming a masterpiece of 20th-century contemporary architecture. Today, without having to travel to France, we can be transported to the City of Light via the Centre Pompidou in Málaga.

The Centre Pompidou Málaga opened its doors in March 2015 and, since then, hundreds of tourists have been flocking to this city on the Costa del Sol to visit the museum, which has become part of the History of Málaga. Its significance lies primarily in the fact that it is the first Paris branch to be located abroad.

The Pompidou Centre, or the ‘cube’ as many call it due to its hexahedral shape, has established itself as the most iconic and sophisticated showcase of art in the city of Málaga. Here, we can quench our thirst for art with works by renowned artists such as Miró, Frida Kahlo, Kandinsky, Chagall and, of course, Pablo Picasso (a native of Málaga).
