The Nerja Museum guides visitors through local history from the discovery of the Cueva de Nerja to the 20th‑century tourism boom. Its prized artifact is ‘Pepita’, and the Ana María Márquez Room hosts rotating contemporary art exhibitions featuring regional artists across photography, painting and sculpture. Admission costs €4 for adults and €3 for children, but is free with a Cueva de Nerja ticket, and the temporary exhibitions are always free.
