From May 16 to 18, 2024. On May 18, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) celebrates International Museum Day. This year's theme is "Museums for Education and Research," which emphasizes the importance of museums as dynamic educational institutions that promote learning, discovery, and cultural understanding.

September 27, 2024. The Alicantino Institute of Culture Juan Gil-Albert will celebrate on September 27 at the MACA, the second panel within the Legacies and Creation conference, under the title "Contemporary Art. Visual Artists". The precariousness and lack of resources of artists, especially older ones, and the safeguarding of their legacies is the main topic on this occasion. We will try to understand this problem firsthand through the contributions of artist, museum and gallery, and to learn about possible solutions given the widespread abandonment at the state level.

The panel will be composed of Eva Lootz, a visual artist who recently donated part of her work to the National Museum Reina Sofía Art Center; José de la Mano is a gallery owner who has been working for some years with the estates of national and international artists; and Raquel Gómez del Val, who is responsible for the Department of Artwork Registration at the National Reina Sofía Art Center Museum. They are exceptional guests who, through their testimonies, will give us the opportunity to learn about examples that will serve as reference and will surely be inspiring.

November 11, 2024. We experienced an unforgettable session at the museum, emotionally closing the eleventh edition of "Reminiscences. Art and Culture Against Alzheimer's".
Our heartfelt gratitude to Marie, whose dance transformed this session into a magical moment; to Gertrud, for reviving the emotions we felt at the beginning of the program in 2012; and to Afa Alicante and the Manuel Peláez Castillo Foundation, for their tireless support and commitment to this project so meaningful to the museum. Thanks to Ester de Extrarradio, for making this program a reality. Your dedication and creativity turn each session into a unique and unforgettable experience for all participants.

Thanks to everyone who makes it possible for "Reminiscences" to continue filling each encounter with meaning and memories.

November 16, 2024. Eusebio Sempere was a passionate and curious enthusiast of artistic experimentation. And music was no exception to this. Numerous were his approaches to avant-garde composers of the 1960s and 1970s in Spain, such as Luis de Pablo, Cristóbal Halffter, and Tomás Marco.
