Discover Classical Mythology on Saturday Guided Art Tours at Museo de Málaga
The Museo de Málaga is offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the classical narratives woven into its fine arts collection. On Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 12:00 PM, the museum will host a specialized guided gallery tour focusing on the rich themes of ancient mythology.
This thematic journey provides a deeper understanding of how timeless Mediterranean legends continue to influence Spanish art.
Exploring Mythology in Malaga's Fine Arts Collection
Led by art historian Rocío González Giménez, the tour invites participants to discover the gods, goddesses, and legendary figures depicted in the museum’s permanent collection. The session, titled "Mitos y leyendas en la colección de Arte del Museo de Málaga" (Myths and Legends in the Art Collection of the Museum of Malaga), traces the enduring legacy of Greco-Roman mythology.
Visitors will explore the stories of prominent mythological figures including Venus, Diana, Hera, Aphrodite, Orpheus, and Paris. The tour also highlights the representation of secondary mythological beings, such as fauns and nymphs, which populate the paintings on display. By examining these works, the tour highlights how Malaga's artistic heritage maintains a direct, continuous connection to the ancient Mediterranean world.
