Museo del Automóvil y la Moda de Málaga

The Museo del Automóvil y la Moda de Málaga pairs a large private car collection with significant haute‑couture holdings inside the restored Antigua Tabacalera building. Exhibits span early motor vehicles to modern sports cars alongside fashion rooms and temporary shows.

Galleries are arranged by era and theme (Belle Époque, 1920s, Sala de Motores, Fashion Corner, etc.), and the museum runs fashion programs and rotating exhibitions—check the official site for current displays and events.

Short visit-oriented intro: expect a mixed itinerary of automotive engineering and fashion design with multiple themed rooms laid out across the former tobacco factory.

Look out for:

• A collection of around 90 restored vehicles including classic British and Italian marques.

• Dedicated fashion displays with hundreds of couture pieces and a notable hats collection.

• The building’s industrial 1927 architecture and the Sala de Motores exhibition.

• Rotating temporary exhibitions and occasional fashion events (MAM Fashion Forum).

Best way to experience it:

Allow 1.5–2 hours to move through the car salons and fashion rooms at a relaxed pace; combine the visit with Málaga city sights and verify current exhibitions and opening times on the museum’s official website before you go.

• Confirm current opening hours and ticketing on the official website before visiting.

• Museum is in the former Tabacalera (industrial building) — expect stairs and uneven historic flooring in places.

• Photography for personal use is usually allowed; check staff signage for restrictions in special exhibits.

• Events and temporary exhibitions may affect gallery access—plan accordingly.
