Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga

The Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga opened in 2011 and is housed in the historic Palacio Villalón in the Old Town. Visitors will find a comprehensive permanent collection of 230 works, which Carmen Thyssen-Bornemisza has loaned to the museum free of charge. The focus is clearly on nineteenth-century Spanish painting, with mainly Andalusian artists represented. Featured artists include such renowned names as Julio Romero de Torres, Francisco de Zurbarán, Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, Guillermo Gómez Gil, and Joaquín Sorolla. The museum thus offers a deep insight into the artistic development of the region and the major currents of Spanish art history in this era.
