Marbella town hall has revived a long-delayed project to expand the Spanish contemporary print museum (Museo del Grabado Español Contemporáneo) into an adjacent building. Because the building is a protected 16th-century site, all renovations require regional approval. Originally opened in 1992, the expanded museum will provide space to display its vast permanent collection and host larger shows.
The total investment for the project is estimated at three million euros, with construction scheduled to begin in 2027 and last two years. The expansion will modernise the existing facilities and merge them with the two-story annex, improving accessibility with the installation of a lift. The museum’s main entrance will also be relocated to Plaza del Santo Sepulcro to connect with the tourist route through Marbella’s old quarter.
