About this audio guide
This guide to the Centre Pompidou Málaga follows the Dutch artist Guda Koster's installation It's Playtime, seven faceless, legs-only figures in the museum's ground-floor Young Space, and the question she asked in making them. You'll hear how the building itself, the first Centre Pompidou outside France, opened in March 2015 under Daniel Buren's multicoloured glass cube, and how its upstairs galleries hold works by Bacon, Kahlo and Picasso. Watch long enough on the ground floor, and you may see a toddler chasing one of those legs into the dark.
