Centre Pompidou Málaga
The jewel in the crown of Malaga’s cultural scene. Centre Pompidou Málaga is the first “pop-up” of the Paris-based cultural centre, Centre national d’art et de culture Georges-Pompidou, to be based outside France.
Focused on contemporary art, the gallery first opened its doors to the public in March 2015.
Its inauguration was attended by then-Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and France’s Minister of Culture Fleur Pellerin, who hailed the artistic and cultural collaboration between the two countries.
