I loved visiting the Rando; it turned out to be a much larger museum than what I was expecting. So much to see and the range of his work is staggering. Nice staff, plus it's free admission. Surrounding neighborhood is a cool vibe as well.
Short visit but really emotional if you like expressionism paintings !

The Museo Jorge Rando, inaugurated in 2014 by the Málaga City Council, is Spain's only Expresionist museum dedicated to the work and legacy of Jorge Rando. The museum offers permanent collections, rotating exhibitions, cultural events including concerts and poetry readings, and virtual visit options.
Málaga's historic core, bounded by the Guadalmedina river to the west, the port to the south and the slopes of Mount Gibralfaro to the east. The district contains the Cathedral, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba fortress, the Picasso Museum and the Pompidou Centre, plus the main shopping street Calle Marqués de Larios. Inside Distrito Centro sit the well-known sub-areas of Centro Histórico, Soho, La Merced and Lagunillas. The area is almost entirely pedestrianised, served by Metro Atarazanas and the Málaga–Centro Alameda rail station.

Such expressive, emotional and reflective gallery!! The paintings are amazing and really make you think. There is a temporary and a permanent exhibition, divided along different ideas. You also have beautiful courtyard there you can just sit and chill at. Plus unbelievably, the entrance is free!
I loved this. Interesting building, superbly curated collection (designed by the artist himself, apparently), and a large, diverse collection. It ranges from delicate butterflies in ink and watercolours in a gloriously peaceful room filled with calming choral music to fully abstract canvases reminiscent of Peter Lanyon and Lee Krasner to more raw, urgent figurative pieces and sculptures.
There was only one other visitor while I was there. It deserves to be packed.
I knew nothing about Rando before my (free) visit, and he's now probably become one of my favourite living artists. A remarkably consistent body of work - politically, if not stylistically - over 60 years? Impressive - and with a message that's as relevant today as it's ever been.
Very impressive exhibition of the life work of this Málaga-born expressionist. Well set with space and sound, and very powerful works. I only wish the explanation could tell more of his life.
