Holy Week Museum

The Holy Week Museum of Málaga, opened in 2010 and run by the Association of Brotherhoods, occupies the former Hospital de San Julián in the historic centre. Its 1,092 square metres house a permanent collection spread across six themed rooms covering the history of the brotherhoods, the processions, the music, the craft trades, religious imagery, oil paintings, the ceremonial thrones (tronos) and ceremonial items. A large collection of official Holy Week posters stands out, along with a room dedicated to five centuries of brotherhoods. The museum incorporates the church of San Julián, with Baroque painting by artists such as Juan Niño de Guevara, and a crypt containing the tombs of cathedral deans. Visitors can walk through the rooms around a central courtyard with a fountain and admire the building's architecture, which includes a cloister with white marble columns and an elegant staircase. The visit ends with a video documentary about the processions.
