About the Library and Documentation Center

The Library and Documentation Center at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía is a department of the Museum whose primary aim is to serve as documentary support for both the Museum’s personnel and outside researchers and students, as well as to facilitate free and open access to its holdings specializing in contemporary art.

Opened on November 28, 1990, with an archive inherited from the former MEAC, the Library hosts an extensive collection of works from 1900 to today, as well as some nineteenth-century works previously mentioned. Currently, the Library is undertaking a project to digitalize documents that are of particular interest to the public.
