The museum design project, conceived in parallel with the architectural renovation, has been sensitively adapted to the existing spaces, taking advantage of each modification to enrich the visitor’s experience. The new layout of display cases and exhibits creates a wide range of intersecting viewpoints, allowing visitors to explore a museum filled with dynamic visual experiences, with connections at different heights and across various spaces. In this way, architecture and museography intertwine in a play of perspectives and reflections that complements and gives meaning to the architectural intervention.
One of the most representative elements of this new relationship between architecture and exhibition narrative is the large LED screen installed in front of the bleachers incorporated into the project, designed specifically to welcome visitors at the start of the tour. This audiovisual display projects the recent history of the performing arts in Spain, bridging the living memory of the collection with contemporary technological languages.
Through precise decisions and a minimalist approach, the museum’s image has been updated, giving it a brighter and more serene atmosphere: a neutral setting where the museum’s valuable collection—carefully selected by curator Ángel Martínez Roger—and the new graphic design by Inés Atienza take center stage. The result is a more open, accessible, and inspiring museum—a revitalized space that invites visitors to explore and discover, where the performing arts are not only narrated but also brought to life through space, light, and technology.
