The programme designed by the MIECST Educational Services focuses both on the architectural significance of the International Museum of Contemporary Sculpture and of the Abade Pedrosa Municipal Museum, and on their rich estates, in order to create close bonds with the local community. The programme offers challenging ways of cultural engagement, while sharing knowledge and affections, for a more inquisitive population.

Open, flexible activities encourage critical thinking and creativity, as well as stimulate empowering, dialogic and potentially transformative learning, by involving different types of audiences and allowing for individual or group visits, due to partnerships with schools, universities, associations and other institutions.

ALL YEAR ROUND – GUIDED TOURS

Staff-led tours featuring highlights of the permanent collections in both museums.
