There are so far five Ralli Museums established in different countries; the first one being in 1987 Punta del Este, Uruguay, while the second museum came five years later in Santiago (Chile). The third museum is in operation since 1993 in Caesarea (Israel) and a fourth one was founded in Marbella (Spain) in 2000.

Furthermore, the latest in the list was opened for public viewing in 2007 in Caesarea, Israel, to be known as “Ralli Museum 2″, which houses some 16^th and 18^th century classical art. However, the signature mark of these museums is the extraordinary collection of contemporary Latin-American art by living artists.

Just in line with the promotion shibboleth of Latiin-American art, the Ralli Museum in Marbella, too, had some world-class collections thereby giving a good option during your cultural tour. The museum in Marbella includes Argentine paintings and European sculptures by Dalí and Maillol, besides paintings by Marc Chagall, Miro, Paul Wunderlich, and German painter Max Ernst, among others.

Just to mention about the philosophy of this series of Rally Museum, these are privately owned non-profit international organisation and the sole purpose is to draw public attention to the quality of contemporary Latin-American art and promote the works of living artists.

Rally museum, whether in Uruguay or Spain, doesn’t involve itself in any kind of commercial activity. The management neither accepts any outside fund nor intends to make money from these galleries. This is apparent from the absence of any restaurants, bookshops and bars inside the museum complex. Also it doesn’t ask any entry fee from the visitors.

Museum Ralli in the Urbanization Choir Beach of Marbella is a pleasurable visit, where visitors only enjoy observing those pretentiously elegant artistic objects. Moreover, there is no booklet or audio guide inside the museum. This is because, as per the words of the founder, the “purpose is to enjoy art and not to study it”.

The museum is open for public viewing five-day a week, from Tuesday-Saturday 11:30 to 14:00 and 18:30 to 21:00. However, it is compulsory closed on Sundays, Mondays, bank holidays and during the whole month of February.
