The contemporary Museum can be viewed from many angles. The exhibitions are thus always new, always surprising, inexhaustible.

There are free tours offering an explanation of a selected Gallery, both in Spanish and English, from Tuesday to Saturday with the following schedule:

     
 

 Spanish
11:00 a.m., 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.
   
 English
11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.


 Spanish
10:00 and 11:00 a.m., 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.
   
 English
11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Admission to the Gold Museum is free for everyone on Sundays, and no guided tours are available due to the large crowds. The Museum is closed on Mondays.

     
 

   

 

The most enjoyable way to tour the Gold Museum exhibitions (even in Sundays) is with the pre-recorded Audioguides. An individual electronic device accompanies you as you discover the four permanent exhibition galleries, allowing you to stop off at the showcases that most interest you and listen to information about the different objects and the craftsmen who made them.

You choose the order, pace and duration of your visit, by indicating the number of the showcase you would like further information about on the keyboard.

Animations are interactive encounters between schoolchildren and the exhibitions on a particular subject. The aim is to get youngsters to take an active part in their visit, motivated and guided by a leader from the Museum and their teacher. The leader does not teach: he or she helps the children discover, encourages them to learn.

Please see our School Visits page in the Education section.

Sorry, Animations are in Spanish. If your school would like to have an English tour of our exhibitions, please refer to Special Group Visits.
