Collaborations

Individuals, companies and institutions committed to the Museo Reina Sofía

If you believe in the power of art as a force for change, become part of the Museo Reina Sofía community to discover different forms of collaboration and contribute to promoting and developing contemporary art.

Donating and Loaning Artworks 

For collectors, artists and their families and anyone wishing to enhance artistic heritage.  

Help build the Museo Reina Sofía Collection by donating or loaning artworks. Your contribution is key to the growth of our collections and to ensuring that future generations can enjoy and learn about major works of modern and contemporary art. In collaborating with the Museo, you are enriching cultural heritage and participating in the development of artistic knowledge, both nationally and internationally. 

The two main forms of collaboration are the following:

  • Donating works 
    This entails a living donor’s free transfer of artworks to the Museo. Donations are incorporated into the Museo’s collections and are handled accordingly i.e. conserved and exhibited. Each donation contributes to completing key areas of the collections and results in public recognition for donors.   
     
  • (Long-term) loans
    Owners temporarily loan their works to the Museo for a minimum period of five years, during which the pieces are exhibited and safeguarded under the strictest conservation standards. Once this time period has concluded, the works are returned to their owners. This option enables collections to be disseminated without relinquishing ownership, granting the public the chance to appreciate works which would otherwise be out of reach.   

Sponsorship and Patronage

For companies and institutions who support contemporary art and culture 

Become part of the Museo Reina Sofía’s Mission by sponsoring a project. We design tailor-made collaborations for companies and institutions with an interest in supporting key areas such as: 

  • Conserving and restoring collections 
  • Organising temporary exhibitions

By sponsoring a project, you are contributing to offering an enriching cultural experience and to promoting knowledge of contemporary art.
