Step into Málaga’s glass history

The Museo del Vidrio y Cristal is set in an 18th-century house in Málaga. The building is carefully restored to show a stunning collection of glass and crystal. It tells the story of glass through the ages. From ancient times up to the 20th century.

More than 3,000 pieces on display

The museum’s collection is vast. Every item is shown alongside furniture and decorations from the same time. This way, visitors get a full picture of how these objects fit into daily life. Paintings, clocks, tapestries, and everyday tools complete the experience.

A lively museum in Málaga’s old craft district

This museum does more than just show glass art. It helps revive the San Felipe Neri neighborhood. Once a hub for local crafts, the museum now supports modern artisans. It is a place to learn and promote craft skills.

A new garden for glass art lovers

For its 14th anniversary, the museum opened a new space. A garden dedicated to Finnish designer Oiva Toikka. His colorful glass birds are on display here. The garden is free to enter. It combines art and nature in a calm outdoor setting.

Art with a message

A recent highlight is a 19th-century stained glass window called “Jesus Heals the Sick.” Signed by Haussaire, it honors Dr. Vivi Boto and healthcare workers. This piece shows gratitude for their important work.
