Territorio Mudéjar is joining in on the celebration of International Museum Day, established by ICOM in 1977, leading us to reflect this year on the new roles that these spaces play as active stakeholders in their communities. Our region offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of the museums in our towns. Most of these spaces were created with a clear intention to interact with the towns’ inhabitants and have played an active role as cultural hubs in these rural communities.
In these spaces, some of the most beloved and characteristic features of our towns are on display, enabling us to learn about the history of the region through their magnificent art collections and museum spaces.
In light of the astounding range of possibilities, the large number of “hidden” treasures and the variety of the offerings available to us this weekend and year-round, we have listed some highlights here. We hope this little guidebook helps you plan your trips.
