THE MUSEO REINA SOFÍA, A CLIMATE AND CULTURAL SHELTER 

•    The Museo Reina Sofía further establishes itself as a climate shelter in the city during the summer months with free access to the Sabatini Building’s Garden and Cloister, in addition to offering a special programme of free activities for all types of visitors.

•    The summer programme of this 2026 Shelter returns to the outdoor summer cinema in the Sabatini Building’s Garden and offers customary live flamenco performances in the rooms of the Collection, as well as children’s workshops and guided tours for families.    
 

•    Over the summer, people can also visit temporary exhibitions, the Collections, a new mediation space and the recently restored Palacio de Velázquez.  

For the second year running, the Museo opens the Climate Shelter, extending access to the Sabatini Building’s Garden and Cloister. This space of hospitality and rest also makes an area with sofas and armchairs available to the public and is open to anyone seeking shelter from the summer heat. This endeavour is aligned with the Museo’s vocation as a cultural shelter, offering a wide-ranging programme during the months of July and August.
