Visual summary<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Yet another year, we present a visual tour of everything that has happened in terms of the museum’s activity during 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the presentation of the Strategy and Action plan 2019-2022\/2032<\/a>, the museum has reaffirmed its commitment with strategic planning as a central work tool.  This framework document, approved by the governing organs of the Museu Nacional, defines the five major axes of action for the forthcoming years: the social dimension; the new storytelling, the growth and diffusion of the collection; the knowledge, education and experiences; the relevance and projection, and the governance, organisation and financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this way mapped out towards the social\nmuseum, new visions have been represented as well as new storytelling with\nvarious actors, so as to continue rethinking and renovating the museum in a\ncontinual way, and as such to tackle and provide responses to the challenges\nposed by a globalised world that is constantly evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New visions, new storytelling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The temporary exhibitions, the interventions\nin the rooms or the new visions based around the collection have been one of\nthe central elements of the programming for this year of 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bermejo, the 15th century rebel genius<\/a><\/strong>. Organised jointly between the Museu Nacional and the Museo del Prado, with the collaboration of the Fundaci\u00f3 Banc de Sabadell and curated by Joan Molina, this monographic exhibition renews the look about this exceptional painter, a genius with a difficult personality, a rebel artist aware of his talent. Bermejo was creator of his own language marked both by the originality when tackling religious topics as well as for the groundbreaking compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
