Art Accessible
Workshop on accessibility in museums
This seminar is organised by Articket (www.articketbcn.org) and Caixa Catalunya's Social Projects.
Articket brings together the seven best museums of Barcelona (Museu Picasso, La Pedrera, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, MACBA, CCCB, MNAC and Fundació Miró). It was created not only as a multi-entry pass, but also with the desire to share ideas and reflect on the current state of art centres. With this aim in mind, Articket organises seminars on different topics to generate debate and share experiences on diverse aspects of our cultural reality today.
The museums and art centres of Barcelona are committed to offering all visitors the possibility of participating in the artistic experience. In pursuit of this goal, they invite different experts and persons linked with the world of museums, as well as companies and associations that work with these topics, to make our heritage more accessible to all.
