The Contemporary Art Centre of Malaga's primary focus is to promote and showcase 20th- and 21st-century visual art by international and emerging Spanish artists. Its permanent collection, consisting of over 400 exhibits, represents a diverse range of artistic disciplines, including late 19th-century Impressionism to various trends in 20th-century art. From painting and sculpture to photography and video creations, the CAC Malaga presents an interesting and expressive mix of artistic languages.

After Museum Island, the Kulturforum is the second centre of art in Berlin. It is the home not only of the Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery), the Gemäldegalerie (Picture Gallery), the Kunstgewerbemuseum (Museum of Decorative Arts) and other museums, but also houses the Philharmonie (Philharmonic Hall) and the Staatsbibliothek (National Library). The New National Gallery was designed by a star architect Mies van der Rohe.

From the 13th to the 15th century, Bruges was the most important trading centre in North-West Europe. Spanish merchants settled along the Spaanse Loskaai (Spanish Quay) and in the Spanjaardstraat. The Germans or Easterners — ‘oosterlingen’ in Dutch — took up residence in the Oosterlingenplein. In this old Hansa Quarter you can admire the mansions of the wealthy international merchants and the great trading nations of the day. You can almost still smell the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

Fans of the postmodern won't want to miss Centre Pompidou Malaga, the only branch of the iconic gallery outside of France. Housed in 'El Cubo,' a giant glass cube in Malaga's Port, the centre houses seven sections: metamorphoses, the body in pieces, the political body, self-portraits, man without a face, the workshop of Brancusi, and one dedicated to the architecture of the first Pompidou Centre in Paris. It is also home to the masterpiece 'The Frame' by Frida Kahlo.
