The National Sculpture Museum today presented the exhibition New Directions: Ways of Inhabiting the Museum, a proposal developed within the framework of the collaboration agreement signed with Fundación Personas. The exhibition, which can be visited until February 1, 2026, is on display in the Museum’s Red Corner Room during its regular opening hours.
The presentation was attended by Jacinto Canales, subdelegate of the Government in Valladolid, and María Eugenia del Olmo, delegate of Fundación Personas Valladolid, underlining the institutional value of this alliance and its commitment to continue expanding accessibility, participation and shared creation.
A museum that is inhabited from diversity
The exhibition is the result of the work developed during the last few months in different areas of the Museum together with the inclusive socio-community center. El Barco de la Esgueva through processes of art therapy and contemporary dance, with the participation of people with intellectual disabilities. As stated in the exhibition dossier, the objective is to show how these practices generate “new spaces of belonging”, providing other ways of seeing, feeling and dialoguing with the works of the National Sculpture Museum.
Nuevos derroteros documents unprecedented routes, gestures, rhythms and languages that transform the museum into a living and shared space, where all corporealities and sensibilities configure new ways of inhabiting the collections.
A shared commitment
This exhibition consolidates the collaboration between Fundación Personas and the Museo Nacional de Escultura, and reaffirms the Museum’s commitment to cultural accessibility, inclusive mediation and the opening of its spaces to projects that broaden the view and enrich the common heritage.
