  The magnetic moments of the low-lying spin-parity $J^P=$ $1/2^-$, $3/2^-$
$\Lambda$ resonances, like, for example, $\Lambda(1405)$ $1/2^-$,
$\Lambda(1520)$ $3/2^-$, as well as their transition magnetic moments, are
calculated using the chiral quark model. The results found are compared with
those obtained from the nonrelativistic quark model and those of unitary chiral
theories, where some of these states are generated through the dynamics of two
hadron coupled channels and their unitarization.
