Reina Sofía Museum opens The Night on 11 November

The Reina Sofía Museum (Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía) in Madrid opens Miguel Ángel Rojas: The Night on 11 November 2026. The exhibition remains on view until 15 March 2027 and gives travellers a new reason to include the museum in an autumn or winter visit to Spain.

Rojas exhibition explores Colombia and global issues

The exhibition is part of the museum's temporary programme and focuses on the work of Colombian artist Miguel Ángel Rojas. The museum describes his practice as addressing complex social and political issues in Colombia, while also reaching wider questions about migration, decolonialisation and natural-resource exploitation.

The Night brings together key works from Rojas's career. Its themes include narco-trafficking, violence, education, popular values and Indigenous values, alongside subjects connected with globalisation. The exhibition is therefore linked to the place through the museum's current programme of contemporary art, rather than being a general event in Madrid.

An inaugural conversation connected with the exhibition takes place on 10 November 2026. The participants are curator María Wills Londoño, artist Miguel Ángel Rojas and museum director Manuel Segade. The museum says the discussion examines the research behind the exhibition and the combination of works from different stages of Rojas's career.

The museum's current exhibition programme lists the opening date as 11 November 2026 and the closing date as 15 March 2027. It also places the conversation on 10 November 2026, making the programme relevant before the exhibition opens to the public.

Reina Sofía Museum links two buildings to the visit

The main site consists of the Sabatini Building and the Nouvel Building. Both provide access to the museum and connect on each floor, so the exhibition programme sits within a larger museum visit rather than a standalone venue.

The Sabatini Building is at Calle Santa Isabel, 52. The Nouvel Building is on Ronda de Atocha, at the corner of Plaza del Emperador Carlos V. The museum's two entrances serve different visitor needs, and the Nouvel entrance is covered.

That two-building arrangement gives The Night a clear practical setting: visitors can combine the temporary exhibition with the collection and other exhibitions without leaving the main site. The connection between Sabatini and Nouvel is a useful detail for planning a visit around the 11 November 2026 opening.

The museum's access and transport information lists Madrid Metro line 1 at Estación del Arte and line 3 at Lavapiés. Atocha station is also nearby, with medium- and long-distance trains and commuter services.
