Education and Mediation

Educational programs at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía offer a varied combination of programs for a wide range of visitors, from children and families to youth and adults, paying particular attention to the special needs of the Museum’s visitors.

Children’s workshops, family visits, activities for youth under eighteen years old, educational courses, video and film screenings, talks, concerts... are only a few of the programs we develop. All of them facilitate proposing questions, promoting debates, offering key points for interpretation and stimulating necessary connections to the viewer’s experience—the foundation that constructs meaning for our relationship to art. From these premises, we aim to facilitate open dialogue with artworks and foster a change of attitude—moving beyond the traditional paradigm of passively contemplating art—in order to educate active, reflective and critical viewers capable of relating in a meaningful way to the works and fully enjoy the experience of art.
