Additionally, there was an orchestra playing in the courtyard, but you needed a ticket for a seat in the audience. At the time I arrived, there were no more tickets for seats. Included in the collection are findings from the Cave of Nerja which shows how Homo sapians-sapians lived during the last Ice Age, grave goods, and Phoenician tomb findings. At the time the Phoenicians settled in Málaga mining for silver, the people were under Assyrian rule, whose currency was based on silver. Exhibits are well curated and have both English and Spanish explanations.

I saw so much of the city on my way to the museum, and when I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's free! The museum itself is actually quite large, and much of its contents are unusual--almost phantasmagorical. If you're a fan of installation pieces, this place is a must-see.

The museum is very nice and it's located a short walk away from the apartment where he lived as a child. When you purchase your tickets, buy the two for one deal and you can visit both.

Was it because we had 4000 people on our cruise ship?!?! And we all got off the ship at the same time, lol. And they were smart enough to pre order their tickets online... Ambiance - Very strict security. Organized but strict system. Tickets are scheduled and appointments to control flow. Many busy museums do this. Many businesses do this. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 7pm. Activities, events - See their website for dates and times. Kid and school friendly. Tour discounts; see their website. Service - N/A. Security was neither friendly nor rude. Just busy controlling the people, flow of people, etc. Price - 13 Euros, $15 US. Reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

It is truly quite small and there was quite a long line to visit. I think due to capacity, people only enter as others leave. I felt I waited in line longer than I spent in the museum itself. There is a short audio guide (free and included with ticket) which was a tad finicky to use. I think seeing the more curated museum was better for me. Visited house museums of artists (ex: Frida Khalo museum in Mexico city) and they were just so much more intimate, robust, and detailed even if the artworks were sparse. This one left me wanting more. 4€ entry and 2.50€ with a discount (ex: student, etc.).

Originally, I wasn't going to visit Pompidou, but it was Sunday and the lesser known museums that…read moreI'd planned on visiting were closed and Pompidou was nearby as with most of the museums. At the time of my visit, there was a choice of the permanent exhibit (7€, seniors 65+ 4€) and for an added fee you could view the temporary exhibit; just the permanent please. With admission, you get an easy-to-use audio guide to explain many, but not all the works that have the theme of time. Otherwise, most of the exhibits have cards that explain the art. For example, one section was about leisure time, another was about the aged which was thought provoking (elderly are less productive, more isolated). In general, the exhibits had a message (ie. breaking gender boundaries or how leisure time provided rest or promoted creativity) that required me to slow down and think about how time applies to me. Thinking the Pompidou had paintings from Picasso and Miró, I was surprised to find only one sculpture from Picasso, two paintings by Miró, and one painting by Matisse. While there was an exhibit where ground spices were hanging from pantyhose-like material and the audio guide said it invites you to smell the spices, I discovered the "invite" was rhetorical when security told me I was too close to the exhibit.
