Málaga's Museum of Glass and Crystal houses a broad collection of glasswork, which ranges from as far back as the Phoenician era.
Greek, Roman, and Byzantine cultures are represented, and newer works include examples of 20th-century Art Deco and the contemporary work of several celebrated Scandinavian craftsmen. The collection also includes several pieces of 19th- and 20th-century stained glass.
In addition, the museum is housed in a remarkably well-preserved 18th-century home, which features 16 period-furnished rooms containing not only the collection of more than 3,000 glass objects, but also antique furniture, paintings, and décor. The museum courtyard is also remarkable for its black marble columns and Baroque frescoes.
