Accessibility and communities
Access to contemporary art requires a commitment from the museum to reduce barriers ranging from the physical, communicative and cognitive to the economic. The objective of promoting universal accessibility and audience diversity is carried out through a programme that articulates different lines of work and collaborative relationships.
ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAMME
ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAMME
The MACBA promotes an Accessibility Programme with the conviction that art facilitates integration and social transformation. Accessibility is addressed throughout the museum, from ongoing improvements to installations to the design of programmes that promote bringing art closer to all audiences with resources adapted to different needs. We work to make it possible for everyone to enjoy the spaces, activities and aesthetic experiences proposed.

ART GRAN
ART GRAN
Secondary Affects is a weekly meeting during which groups of senior citizens are invited to visit MACBA to discover, experiment, ask a thousand-and-one questions without any obvious answers, prolong time and shorten distances: between different points in the city, between art forms, between generations, between opinions, memories and emotions, and between accompanied solitudes.
Programme supported by Barcelona’s Public Health Agency, a research and intervention project focused on art, health and older people in situations of loneliness.
