Museo Fundación Unicaja de Artes y Costumbres Populares

This guide to the Museo Fundación Unicaja de Artes y Costumbres Populares in Málaga starts with an eighteenth-century bargain: a candle lit before the Virgin, sealed in a small glass box as proof a prayer was answered. In room eleven you'll hear about the hundreds of these ex-votos left by Malagueños asking for a cure, a safe voyage, a child spared, alongside devotional glassware and cheap prayer prints meant for a bedroom wall. It's a private, stubborn kind of faith, kept long after the candles burned out, and the guide follows it deeper into the museum's corridors.
