MUSEO
PICASSO
The Museo Picasso Málaga is run by the Fundación
Museo Picasso de Málaga and the Fundación
Paul, Christine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso. Two
foundations have been created, each with its
own Board of Trustees, and together they promote
the Museum and make sure that the wishes of
the donors are respected. The Fundación Paul,
Christine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso is the rightful
owner of the Collection, whereas the Fundación
Museo Picasso de Málaga owns the group of
buildings that holds it. As was initially
agreed by the donors, the two Foundations
are responsible for the conservation, exhibition,
study and diffusion of the Collection.

This museum, located next to San Pedro church

traditional in the city. The place jealously
guards the equipment and the images of the
Virgin of Los Dolores Coronada and the Christ
of the Expiración, escorted through the streets
every year by members of the Guardia Civil
(local police). If you want to visit the museum,
you can only do so by prior appointment calling
the above number.

CENTRO
DE ARTE CONTEMPORÁNEO
The CAC Málaga is a cultural initiative of
The City Council of Malaga. Its aim is the
promotion and dissemination of 20th- and 21st-century
visual art. The project is an innovative one
within Spain as it combines models of private
management with the aims and ideals of public
administration. The CAC Málaga was officially
opened on 17 February 2003 by Their Royal
Highnesses the Infanta Cristina and her husband,
Iñaki Urdangarín, Dukes of Palma. A pioneering
new project was thus launched, based on the
model of the German "Kunsthalle" and characterised
by its dynamic nature and its emphasis on
the dissemination of contemporary art and
reflection on the issues involved in this
field. The opening of the CAC Málaga has opened
up new cultural possibilities in the south
of Spain and the centre was specifically created
with the intention of becoming an international
reference point.
