Reina Sofía Museum (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía) in Madrid hosts Ana Curra on 14 October 2026 in the first session of its new live arts music series. The concert connects the Spanish singer's work with the museum's presentation of contemporary art from 1975 to the present.
Ana Curra opens the museum's music series on 14 October
The event is listed by the museum as Session 1 of Collection. Contemporary Art: 1975-Present, Music Series, Part 1. Modern Vices. Ana Curra's concert takes place on 14 October 2026, with the museum presenting it as a live arts programme rather than as a conventional gallery tour.
The official event description places Curra within the cultural history of Madrid's Movida movement. It says that her music will be accompanied by audiovisual and photographic material, including work by Miguel Trillo and Alberto García-Alix. Artists who collaborated on her most recent record, La Última Cena de Parálisis Permanente, are also due to join her on stage. The official Ana Curra programme names the date and describes the museum's invitation to create the concert for this series.
A report by Europa Press places the event in the Auditorio 400 of the Nouvel Building and gives the start time as 8pm. It describes the performance as the opening session of the music cycle and says that entry is free until capacity is reached. The event therefore offers a concrete reason to visit the museum during the week beginning 12 October, beyond its temporary exhibitions.
The Nouvel auditorium brings the Movida theme into the museum
The concert is linked to the room Material Counterculture, where popular culture, street life, club culture, photography, underground comics, design and posters frame a view of the Movida. That connection gives the 14 October event a specific setting within the museum's collection programme: the live performance extends a subject already represented through objects and images.
The main museum occupies a former hospital building in Madrid's Atocha district. The original complex dates from the sixteenth century, while eighteenth-century work by José de Hermosilla and Francisco Sabatini shaped much of the building seen today. It became the Reina Sofía Art Centre in 1986, and the permanent collection was inaugurated on 10 September 1992.
Architect Jean Nouvel expanded the museum between 2001 and 2005 with additional exhibition space, a library and an auditorium. The Ana Curra event thus uses a later part of the complex for a programme that looks at a period represented in the collection and in the adjoining display on Material Counterculture. Madrid's historic hospital architecture and its modern extension meet in the same visit.
Madrid's Reina Sofía combines Sabatini and Nouvel buildings
The museum's main site has two access points, the Sabatini Building and the Nouvel Building. The city tourism authority identifies the museum at the southern end of Madrid's Paseo del Arte and lists the nearby Atocha station, Estación del Arte and Lavapiés Metro stations. Its Madrid visitor information also records the museum's history and transport connections.
