The museum is located in a crefully restored 18th century house, where we can browse through the history of humanity by means of the glass.
It is a private collection of more than 3.000 pieces of glass of different epochs, accompanied by pictures, furniture, and decorative objects in a setting that corresponds to each historical period represented, immersing us in an enviroment close to the domestic context of the era.
It is a museum o decorative arts that aims not only to contribute to the rehabilitation of the old craftsman's neighborhood of San Felipe Neri, but also to be a reference centre for artisans' techniques of the past, many of them lost, unknown or forgotten
Location:
Plazuela Santísimo Cristo de la Sangre 2, Málaga 29012, in front of the main door of the Church of San Felipe Neri. (Note that the address has recently been changed from Calle Gaona, 20).
