Description
The Centre Pompidou Málaga sits within the Cube building at the port, located between Docks 1 and 2, and displays contemporary artworks across multiple floors. A colored glass cube sits atop the roof, creating a distinctive landmark visible from the waterfront.
History
This branch opened in 2015 as the first international location of the Paris-based Centre Pompidou outside France. The project grew from a partnership between the port city and the Paris institution to bring contemporary art to the waterfront.
