Why go
This museum day suits art lovers and gives you several indoor places to spend time when the weather makes a long outdoor walk less appealing. Start at the Glass Museum in the old centre, then compare its collection with Picasso's work in the Palacio de Buenavista. The Museo de Málaga broadens the day with art and local history. Centre Pompidou Málaga is an optional final visit by the port; skip it if three museums already feel full. Keep the walks between venues easy, and leave space to look closely at a few rooms rather than rushing through every collection.
