Centre Pompidou Málaga, Modern art museum in Port District, Málaga, Spain
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.
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.
The museum presents works from the 20th and 21st centuries that reflect how contemporary art speaks to people today. You'll find pieces that connect to different cultures and artistic movements across Europe and beyond.
The museum is accessible by several bus lines and sits directly at the port with easy walking access. Plan to spend one to two hours here, depending on how much time you want to spend with the exhibitions.
The building was created by modernizing an existing port structure, so it keeps traces of its industrial past while serving as a contemporary art space. This blend of old harbor architecture and new purpose gives the place a distinctive character that you'll notice as you walk through.
