ACCESSIBLE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The Museum's annual Educational Programme offers adapted and accessible activities, aimed at people and groups with specific needs, focusing on topics associated with the works of art on display in our Permanent Collection and temporary exhibitions.

ADAPTED VISITS, tailored to the specific needs of people with functional diversity, may be arranged and booked on request. Applications will require prior preparation work in collaboration with the educational coordinator of the group, and may include proposals for Creative Visits, Dialogue-Based Guided Tours and/or Workshops for every age group

We offer ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM, accompanied by their families or responsible adults.

In addition, we organise continuity activities in tandem with different associations, aimed at strengthening relationships between these groups of people and the Museum, thereby promoting mutual enrichment.

All spaces in which activities of the Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga’s Educational Programme take place are fully accessible.
