The city of Malaga is famous for its extensive cultural attractions, and in particular, for its intriguing collection of museums.

This wonderful 40 square metre exhibition is made up of more than 200 figures made of plasticine. Apparently they needed 35 kilos of plasticine and three months of hard word to put this masterpiece together.
