The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Málaga is an excellent place to visit if you´re a tourist and you´re getting to know the city. Open in 1976, for its location they chose an old inn of the 17th century to put into context the works that are exhibited there.
The idea of the organizers of this museum is to relate with its environment every object that is exhibited there and for that they acclimate every room in a special way.
The idea is to show, the most realistic way possible, how it was and how it is the everyday life in Málaga, its region and its people. What activities they do, what their customs are like, what they eat and how they interact among other things. Also, as a cultural and archeological work, the investigators and the people who study this subject tried to restore pieces of high historical value and protect them so that they can preserve their value without deteriorating.
The Mesón de la Victoria, which is the name of the old inn where the museum is now, was the best choice that they made, respecting the placing of the museum.
If you rent apartments in Malaga you can´t not visit this incredible museum that shows us how life is in this region of Spain. Learning the culture of the places we visit is fundamental in interesting trips like this.
