Prado Museum (Museo del Prado) in Madrid will host A Night in the Prado Museum on 7 November 2026, bringing a special evening opening back to the Spanish capital. The programme will open selected exhibition spaces and add music and multimedia activities to the museum visit.
A Night in the Prado Museum returns on 7 November
The Community of Madrid and Samsung are collaborating with the institution on the 2026 initiative, which is scheduled for the first Saturday of each month. Tourism Madrid lists the next edition for 7 November 2026.
The evening programme is designed around different exhibition spaces rather than a single temporary display. Visitors will be able to encounter multimedia work developed by Samsung and the museum, including The Dauphin's Treasure and the Guide to the Prado App. A selection of works prepared for the Samsung The Frame Art Store is also listed among the activities.
Radio 3 will take part with a live special programme from the lobby of the Jerónimos Building. The station's journalists and DJs will broadcast from the museum as part of the evening's cultural programme.
The November opening extends the Prado's evening programme
The format connects the museum's collection with spaces that are not normally encountered as part of a standard daytime visit. The first edition took place on 4 March 2023 and focused on the Central Gallery, where works by Titian, Velázquez, Rubens and Goya formed part of the route.
The November date also falls during a wider programme linked to Christina of Sweden. A remodelled room in the Villanueva Building now brings together 17 sculptures associated with the Swedish queen's collection, as reported by Europa Press's report on room 74. That display gives the November event a direct connection with a current reorganisation of the permanent collection.
The remodelled room presents classical works linked to the queen, while the nearby Sala de las Musas is part of the same wider presentation. This places the special opening within the institution's existing collection rather than treating it as a separate commercial event.
