The Russian Museum opens in Málaga
Posted on 21 February 2015
Málaga is becoming more and more known as a culture city with exciting art museums. We already have the Picasso and Carmen Thyssen Museum.
During March month another art museum will be inaugurated, which is called “Collections from the Russian Museum“.
The Russian Museum in St. Petersburg has one of the largest collections of Russian art. It is the first time that a bigger collection of its artworks are permanently exhibited in Europe.
The permanent exhibition is called “Russian art in the period XV-XX” and contains amongst other icon paintings from the XV period. From the avant-garde art period there will be shown paintings from Kandinsky and Chagall. This exhibition can be seen until November 2015. The temporary exhibition is called “Russian art on Diaghilev’s time” can be seen until September. Diaghilev was the founder of the Russian ballet and arranged also art exhibitions.
The Russian Museum is located in the old renovating Tobacco factory in Málaga, also called “Tabacalera”. It is next door to the Automobile museum “Museo Automovilistico” so why not visit both museums on the same day.
The address is Av. Sor Teresa Prat, 29003 Malaga and it takes only 10min. by car from Málaga airport. The admission price is 8 euros for both the permanent and temporary exhibition and there will be free admission every Sunday afternoon from 4pm until closing time.
The opening date for the museum is set for Wednesday the 25th of March 2015.
