Art galleries in Málaga
Galleries are best taken slowly. Málaga, Andalucía has 20 mapped right now. That's 20 galleries mapped around Málaga. The exhibition schedule matters more than the count: a small gallery with a great current show beats a big one between exhibitions. Opening nights are the cheat code — free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that actually wants to talk about the work.
This guide covers every art gallery we could verify in and around Málaga (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Centro de Exposiciones de Benalmádena and Centro Cultural La Malagueta, plus CAC La Coracha. If a gallery's missing from Málaga's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Gallery tips for Málaga
A few things worth knowing before you work through Málaga's art galleries:
- Check accessibility at Centro de Exposiciones de Benalmádena. Older gallery buildings can be tricky. The website usually notes step-free access — check before you go.
- Don't skip the project room at Centro Cultural La Malagueta. The small back room often holds the most interesting work — emerging artists, experiments, one-night installations.
- Take the long way through. Galleries reward slow looking. One extra lap always reveals something the first pass missed.
- Ask about private views. Mailing lists get you invited to previews — quieter, with the artists around and first pick of the work.
Good to know
We searched about 40 km around Málaga — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Málaga can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 20, or a art gallery we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.
We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.
If you run one of the 20 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
