A new museum was inaugurated in Malaga on 26th May with the presence of the Mayor, D. Francisco de la Torre and will open to the public on 1st June. The Museum of Glass and Crystal is located in a beautiful old building which used to house the Posada de San Felipe Neri in the historic old town. The Museum is located in front of the Church of San Felipe Neri. The totally renovated building has been decorated with paintings and furnishings belonging to one of the old Spanish Grandee families and has examples of stained glass windows and glass from all periods of history; from Roman times through to mid 20th Cent.   

The curator is Professor Ian Phillips of St. Johns College, Cambridge University  U.K.   Visits will be by appointment and guided.   There is also a charming garden area which has been set up for catered events i.e. receptions, weddings etc.  This would make a delightful visit in Malaga and anyone wishing to see this new and exciting venture should call:

Anyone wanting to have a day trip into Malaga to visit the historic English Cemetery please note that Rosella conducts guided tours for individuals and groups.   There is a small fee which goes towards the maintenance of the cemetery.   Contact Rosella for more info or to make a reservation.
