Like many others of its kind in Andalusia, this museum, opened at the Malagueta Bullring in 1999, is devoted to the exhibition of bullfighting objects and memorabilia, offering the visitor an in-depth insight into the world of Spain’s national festival. It includes matadors’ costumes, photographs, posters and other valuable bullfighting items. Highlights include a costume that belonged to Antonio Ordóñez’, the head of the bull slain by Javier Conde on his debut along with his cape, a costume worn by Curro Romero in its natural state, including a hole made by a bull’s horn, and the only costume belonging to Josê Tomás to be found on display in any museum. Other items include instruments used by the surgeon Isidro Garcîa Recio (1924-1937), posters, mementos and historic photographs, such as those depicting the winners of the Capote Paseo Trophy, and other photographs featuring Malaga’ bullfighters from the XVIII century onwards. The museum is also home to a model of the bullring itself, crafted by an enthusiast, and the last bull killed in Malaga during the final bullfight of the XX century (Morante de la Puebla).
