Andy Dandy Art Scence in Marbella & Malaga

Andy Dandy Art Scence in Marbella & Malaga

While Marbella itself is not particularly well known as an art hotspot, the neighboring city of Málaga has a rapidly expanding cultural sector, particularly with the announcement of the opening of the Centre Pompidou Málaga, the first pop-up outpost of the important contemporary art museum to open outside of France.

Art/Marbella’s VIP program takes full advantage of the art museums in the area, with “a full calendar of activities with curated visits to the CAC and the brand new Centre Pompidou in Malaga. Both are deploying a wide cultural offer in the area, and this has become a great attraction for our collectors.” In addition to the museum offerings of the Costa del Sol, Art/Marbella is wooing international collectors to the Spanish shore with “an aggressive collector’s program,” which includes luxury accommodations and exclusive parties for a select group of internationally known collectors. Not to mention the fact that Marbella itself is an enticing and attractive location.

Marbella may not be known for its museums and art galleries, although it has much to offer.
For art lovers visiting Marbella, the arts scene here is becoming well developed, with Marbella’s top art galleries and art museums including the popular Municipal Exposition Gallery (Galeria Municipal de Exposiciones) and the Casa Grande gallery, both of which attract a range of changing exhibitions by artists from all over the world.

MALAGA ART GALLIERES AND MUSEUMS

The Andalusian city of Malaga is finally beginning to gain the respect it deserves after decades of investment in development of infrastructure, culture and the arts. Malaga is not so much of a well kept secret as a place that has seemingly struggled to overcome an underserved, tainted reputation thanks to the negative connotations attached to the Costa del Sol and less cultured and elegant places such as Torremolinos to the city’s west. With some thirty museums, a raft of reoccurring cultural celebrations throughout the year, surprising “golden-age” architecture and an important musical heritage, Malaga in fact boasts cultural assets on par with Madrid and Barcelona – an impressive statement for a city of just 600,000 residents. The food scene in Malaga is also emerging to rival even that of the Basque country and Catalonia, and with long beaches and a newly redeveloped port area chock-full of fine dining and shopping establishments, it feels reminiscent of the Riviera.

As an example of the cultural standing of the city of Malaga, consider just five of the world class museums to be explored in this city.

The Picasso Museum and Casa Natal
The Contemporary Art Museum or CAC (Centro de Arte Contemporaneo)
The Alcazaba
Municipal Museum of Malaga

Picasso

 

Surely there is a museum for every interest in Malaga. Unmentioned here are such galleries as a Flamenco Art Museum, the Museum of Glass and Crystal, an automotive museum and maritime museum, a museum of the grand cathedral of Malaga, a wine museum and even the Doll’s House Museum. The most exciting news on the artistic front of Malaga now, however, is the installation of a satellite museum from the French Pompidou Centre scheduled to open doors in 2015.
