Once again, the Museo Reina Sofía participates in this year’s annual International Museum Day. The theme chosen by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) is “Museums, Sustainability and Well-being”, with the stress placed on museums’ contribution, as threads in a shared social fabric, to the well-being of communities and to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). More specifically, 2023 is centred on Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being; Goal 13: Climate Action; and Goal 15: Life on Land.

Diversity, art and music come together on this day of festivities and vindication, in which Radio 3 sets up in the Nouvel Building Courtyard to offer a line-up of artists who will perform live —streamed on the Radio 3 website — without interruption from 7am to 10pm. The day will conclude with upbeat music in the Sabatini Building Garden from 9pm to midnight.

Entry to the Museo will be free of charge throughout the day, with visits available to the temporary exhibition An Act of Seeing that Unfolds. The Susana and Ricardo Steinbruch Collection, the Museo Reina Sofía Collection and guided tours.
