Centre Pompidou Malaga

Architecture of Renzo Piano in Malaga

Yesterday I visited the very impressive Centre Pompidou Malaga. Designed by Architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers, it’s a stunning building that showcases the artwork within to amazing effect. The design of the building is certainly to be marveled at but the collection that I viewed was more of a marvel and to say it floated my boat is an understatement!

Malaga Marina Area

The museum itself is down by the marina which is a fabulous area of Malaga. I recommend a visit to the museum to get out of the heat of the day and then take a stroll down the marina and go for a drink afterwards to discuss all that you saw in the museum!

The building houses a cube of coloured panels above ground that from when viewed at below ground in the museum, the void within has the most amazing shadows that gave me a reminder of a Mondrian painting.

Spanish Artists

The current collection is broad ranging and takes in artists such as Miro, Picasso, Barcelo and Picabia. It also introduced me to some new concepts such as “The Matterists”. I was most taken by a 1929 piece by Francis Picabia which was titled “Sphinx” but in reality I liked most of the art on display and massively enjoyed my visit to the museum. A perfect Sunday activity here in Malaga.
