Positive Assessment of International Museum Day in Reus 2026

Last weekend, the Reus Museum and the Reus Promotion Agency filled the city with life on the occasion of International Museum Day 2026. With almost all activities fully booked, the public’s response has been a genuine barometer of cultural interest in the city.

More than 2,800 people participated in the various proposals organized, from exhibitions to workshops and dramatized visits, with a success that leaves no one indifferent.

The cultural celebration at the Reus Museum

Guided tours and new features that triumphed

The Reus Museum sold out all the spots for guided tours to its temporary and permanent exhibitions, the Patacada shelter, and the Mas Iglesias Image Center. The highlight was the dramatized visit, a new feature that captivated the audience by taking them through the city’s history via characters who narrated key moments.

Outreach and astronomy activities

But the celebration does not stop at the weekend: the Museum continues with a series of activities related to the solar eclipse expected on August 12. Notable highlights include the screening of the film Apollo XII, guided tours with the author of the exhibition Under the Same Sky, and a photography workshop to learn how to safely capture the eclipse. To finish, a bubble planetarium offers a total immersion into the universe, where astronomical simulations come closer than ever to reality.

Reus Promotion and the Gaudí Year

A tribute to the most universal architect

This year, the program at the Gaudí Centre has had a marked focus on Gaudí’s figure, especially on his human side and his relationship with Reus. The workshops and guided tours have connected with audiences of all ages, offering a fresh and inclusive look at the architect’s creative universe.

This cultural mobilization is a clear indicator that the city not only preserves heritage but brings it to life.

Reactions and future outlook

The Reus Promotion Agency expresses satisfaction with the great acceptance and thanks all participants for their involvement. The program goes beyond the central weekend and promises to keep the spirit of Museum Day alive with new activities and initiatives over the coming months.
