Museums and exhibitions

Cultural spaces play a key role in the development of free and cultured societies. Equipping museums and art centers with the latest technologies ensures the preservation and progress of our cultural heritage. ACCIONA is committed to delivering culturally transformative museum experiences.

Many of the cultural and branding projects undertaken by ACCIONA seek to create unique, memorable, and immersive experiences on regional history and cultural heritage. These projects are designed to be sustainable and promote local development in the regions where the company operates.

FEATURED PROJECT 2022

Life and work of Frida Kahlo

In 2022, ACCIONA Culture organized the immersive exhibition Life and Work of Frida Kahlo, where technology is combined with the public’s multisensory experience, to bring them closer to the life of the Mexican artist.

More than 80,000 people visited the Madrid exhibition, even though it also opened in the Netherlands and Puerto Rico and is scheduled to arrive in Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, and Australia in 2023.

The exhibition has generated a highly positive social and environmental impact in Madrid. In addition to being a carbon neutral exhibition, trees have been planted in both Mexico and Madrid to emphasize its environmental benefit. The entire procedure has been endorsed by the UNE EN ISO 20121:2013 certification, which ensures the implementation of extremely rigorous sustainability criteria in events.
