Reina Sofía Museum (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía) in Madrid opens La Menesunda According to Marta Minujín on 18 November 2026. The exhibition is scheduled to run until 8 March 2027, giving visitors from across Western Europe a new temporary presentation to plan around the museum's permanent collection.
The opening is the current programme peg for the museum because it marks the start of a dated exhibition at the site itself. The museum's programme lists the show as an exhibition from 18 November 2026 to 8 March 2027, alongside other temporary displays and public activities.
La Menesunda opens at the Reina Sofía Museum
The exhibition presents a full-scale reconstruction of La Menesunda, the installation created by Marta Minujín and Rubén Santantonín in 1965. It also includes a survey of Minujín's happenings and participatory actions from 1963 to 1985, connecting the new presentation with several stages of the artist's work.
The official programme places the exhibition within the museum's wider calendar. The listed end date is 8 March 2027, so the installation remains part of the planned programme throughout the winter and into early spring.
The Nouvel Building frames the immersive exhibition
The exhibition is presented in the Nouvel Building on Level 0, according to Madrid's official visitor listing. That location matters for visitors because the museum's main site is formed by the Sabatini and Nouvel buildings, with both serving as access points to the galleries.
The reconstruction brings a work first made in 1965 into a museum complex whose programme covers modern and contemporary art. The relationship between the installation's participatory history and the museum's stated interest in public engagement gives the November opening a specific place within the institution's exhibition calendar.
The main site is at Calle Santa Isabel, 52, in Madrid. The museum identifies the Sabatini Building and Nouvel Building as the starting points for visits, while the Nouvel entrance is at C/Ronda de Atocha, 2.
