The Museo Reina Sofía wishes to embody the concept of an expanded museum, where the experience of contemporary art is both a source of enjoyment and knowledge. Its Collection, made up of over 20,000 works, avoids representing one sole and closed interpretation of art history, opting instead for multiple histories. A museum that is a catalyst for ideas, discourses and poetics in its temporary exhibitions and intensive programme of audiovisuals and live arts, as well as a continual forum for thought, debate and education designed for all ages through courses, conferences and workshops in which visitors take centre stage.
