Museo Revello de Toro, Art museum in central Málaga, Spain
The Museo Revello de Toro is an art museum in Málaga organized around a central patio with six interconnected rooms displaying more than a hundred paintings and drawings. The collection comprises figurative works, portraits, and sketches that demonstrate the artist's range across different artistic mediums and approaches.
The museum opened in 2010 inside a restored 17th-century building that once belonged to the sculptor Pedro de Mena and retains its original Tuscan marble columns and woodwork. The use of this historic space links the artistic collection with the city's architectural heritage.
The museum showcases the artist's work as a key figure in Málaga's modern artistic development, with pieces reflecting his deep connection to portraiture as a form of personal expression. The collection reveals how local artists engaged with traditional and contemporary techniques to document their surrounding world.
The museum is open several days a week with morning and afternoon time slots, making it straightforward to visit while exploring the city. The rooms are compact and easy to navigate, so you can see the entire collection in an hour or two.
The top floor houses a special collection of glass-protected drawings, including intimate portraits of family members. These fragile works offer a more personal glimpse into the artist's interests beyond his more formal exhibition pieces.
