Interactive Music Museum

A fantastic place for a family outing! We visited the Interactive Music Museum in Málaga with our children and had a wonderful time. The kids were thrilled to be able to touch and play different instruments — such a great feature of the museum! The exhibitions are interesting, modern, and suitable for all ages. You can not only see instruments from around the world, but also learn about their history and hear how they sound. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended — it's both fun and educational!

An excellent museum! Displays of instruments from different parts of the world and different time periods. The building housing the museum is beautiful as well. The spaces are outlying accessible to wheeled travelers. Both the front and rear parts of the building have elevators. I really loved the interpretive Displays and QR codes which allow you to hear how the instruments sound. Even better are the areas where kids of all ages can play them! FANTASTIC! Highly recommended!

Stepped into MIMMA in Málaga’s historic center and was instantly hooked by the vibe music history comes alive here! This isn’t just a museum; it’s a playground for anyone curious about sound. You can strum a guitar, tap a drum, or even try a harp in the "Please Play" rooms. The collection spans centuries and continents, with nearly 1,000 instruments, from ancient lutes to quirky global finds. Pro tip: scan the QR codes to hear each instrument’s sound it’s a game-changer for understanding their vibe. Tickets are only €5 (free for kids under 6), and it’s rarely crowded, so no queue stress. Don’t miss the basement with Málaga’s medieval walls for a cool photo backdrop. Check their site for flamenco show times worth the extra €19 if you catch one! Perfect for families or solo explorers near the Catedral.

È stato fantastico, ci siamo divertite un sacco, abbiamo visto strumenti assurdi, hanno degli schermi che fanno sentire il suono degli strumenti e hanno delle sale(rosse) dove si possono provare alcuni strumenti(es chitarra, xilofono)

Nos gustó la colección de pianos, los hay preciosos!. El espacio, sobre todo al entrar, es amplio y muy luminoso. Las diversas salas estaban muy oscuras y con el contraste de la luz que llegaba del exterior había muchos reflejos que incomodaban para ver la gran variedad de instrumentos, algunos preciosos y sorprendentes. La parte interactiva nos pareció poco atractiva porque muchas cosas no funcionaban. Los instrumentos expuestos para tocar eran de muy baja calidad, tal vez para visitas de niños puede valer pero para adultos con inquietudes y prácticas musicales queda insuficiente. La tienda tiene artículos de regalo muy bonitos y originales. El personal es muy atento.

Am avut în obiectiv acest muzeu chiar de la programarea vacanței noastre la Malaga. În multitudinea de muzee din Centrul Istoric acest muzeu aduce în atenție frumosul exprimat altfel decât prin culoare. Cu toate acestea, vizita a fost mai mult decât ne-am așteptat. Trei adulți am devenit niște copii care descopereau cu bucurie instrumentele expuse în colecții diferite, din toate timpurile și pe zone geografice în sălile albe și negre. Am înțeles că omul, în lunga sa istorie, a fost însoțit oricînd și oriunde pe acest pământ de sunet exprimat în așa fel încât să creeze emoție să creeze ceea ce numim astăzi armonie prin muzică. Ne-a plăcut atmosfera și la acest lucru a contribuit chiar modul în care am fost primiți la intrare de personalul foarte tânăr al muzeului. Ne-am bucurat pe deplin de sălile roșii, cele „Please to play", în care eram încurajați să învățăm prin propria experimentare, cântând la instrumente. Desigur, „să învățăm" e prea mult spus, dar a fost o experiență deosebită să facem acest lucru. Preferata mea a fost harpa pentru că nu am întâlnit până în acel moment acest instrument. Faptul că toate instrumentele din acea camera erau dezacordate nu ne-a stricat bucuria întâlnirii. Am apreciat și camera video, unde rulau pe un ecran filme mute cu Charlie Chaplin. În același timp filmele erau însoțite de muzica unui pian care cânta independent chiar muzica acelor filme. La subsol, printr-o podea de sticlă, se văd ruinele arheologice din timpul Imperiului Roman și din zidurile orașului medieval. În concluzie, un mic muzeu care merită văzut de toți copiii, indiferent de vârsta ( de la 4 ani până departe). Prețul în martie 2025, fără aglomerație, a fost de 6 euro, acces general.

From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff, which immediately set a positive tone for the visit. Entry was free with our tourist bus ticket, which made it an easy decision to stop by, and I’m so glad we did. The performance space was small and intimate, with soft lighting and a closeness that made you feel as though you were stepping into a private gathering rather than a staged show. The air carried the faint scent of polished wood and warm fabric, and the audience spoke in hushed voices, as if everyone instinctively knew they were about to witness something special. The evening began with a guitarist whose fingers danced effortlessly across the strings, filling the room with deep, resonant notes that seemed to linger in the air. Then, a singer stepped forward, his voice rich and textured, carrying both sorrow and joy in equal measure, a sound that seemed to come from somewhere far beyond the walls of the room. And then, she appeared: the flamenco dancer. Dressed in a vibrant, flowing dress of deep red and black, she moved with a mix of grace and raw intensity. Her heels struck the wooden floor in sharp, rhythmic bursts, each stomp echoing like a heartbeat, perfectly in sync with the music. The folds of her dress swirled around her like a living flame, and the passion in her eyes held the entire audience captive. It wasn’t just a performance, it was an authentic slice of Andalusian culture, alive with history, emotion, and artistry. The fact that it was free made it all the more extraordinary. We left with the feeling that we had been given a gift, a genuine cultural experience that will stay with us for a long time. A truly great show. Culturally authentic, emotionally moving, and absolutely worth the visit.
