Activity title: Andalusian artists around the world

Type (Category): Guided tours

Brief description: Andalusia has always been a land of artists. Many of them have triumphed outside our region, in very different ways, from bohemianism—Picasso being the most international example—or by pursuing more academic careers. The usual starting point for many of them, although not all, was to obtain the scholarships and grants offered by the State through national competitions, in order to study with the great masters in Paris or Rome. This award opened the doors to an important clientele, especially in Madrid, whether it was government bodies or the upper middle class. Despite producing a large part of their work abroad, many did not forget their homeland, as evidenced by the collection of the Museum of Malaga.

Time: 12:00

Duration: 60 minutes

Activity title: The other archaeologies of Andalusia

Type (Category): Themed visits

Brief description: The Malaga Museum houses a series of pieces from other Andalusian provinces that have ended up in this institution due to various circumstances. These are often curious stories and sometimes the result of administrative procedures. We find objects that belonged to the Marquises of Casa-Loring and others that were part of 20th-century collections. Some of these pieces are of great interest and form remarkable collections, while others are more modest finds. We will take a tour of the provinces of Córdoba, Granada, Almería and Seville, focusing mainly on the Iberian, Roman and Andalusian periods.

Activity title: “Artistic harmonies. The brotherhood of music and architecture”

Type (Category): Lectures

Brief description: By Ana Benavides (Professor at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid and lecturer at Carlos III University). Lecture-concert offered on the occasion of Andalusia Day and the closing of the exhibition “More than a grain of sand. Malaga and the architect Fernando Guerrero Strachan (1880-1930)”.

Andalusia and Malaga are narrated in literature, architecture and also in music. All their visual and auditory expressions are like travel books, snapshots of their people and testimonies to the essence of their places. Music and architecture are inevitable arts and are in tune with human beings, as they are reflections of a feeling, of a culture, they are sketches of local art, as Guerrero Strachan said. And local art is a true reflection of the people who inhabit it, a combination of past and present, of identity and foreignness.

Activity title: Architect Guerrero Strachan

Type (Category): Workshops

Brief description: In this children's workshop, we will introduce the figure of Fernando Guerrero Strachan to the little ones. To do this, participants will put themselves in his shoes with the challenge of building a model of Malaga as a symbol of our identity. This illustrious architect and creator took numerous elements from traditional Andalusian architecture and fused them with important historical trends, from Plateresque to Baroque, in a historicist style with unquestionable personality. Considered one of the main architects of the urban landscape of modern-day Malaga, his legacy is fundamental to understanding the city in which we live.
