Museo Reina Sofía
Logistics Guide

Yes, the Reina Sofía is exceptionally accessible. It is divided into the historic Sabatini Building and the modern Nouvel Extension. Both are connected by smooth, level transitions and 0Hz vibration floors. The iconic external glass lifts (Otis) are fully accessible and provide priority to PRM visitors. All galleries are wide, and the museum provides free manual wheelchairs at the information desk. The 'Guernica' room has ample space for multiple wheelchair users to view the painting simultaneously.

There are high-quality accessible restrooms on every floor of both buildings. They are clearly marked and feature $2.0\text{-meter}$ turning radii, support rails, and emergency pull-cords. The restrooms in the Nouvel building (near the library) are particularly modern and spacious. All facilities are maintained to a very high standard.

The best drop-off point is 'Plaza de Juan Goytisolo' ($40.408100, -3.694500$). This is a large, pedestrianized granite plaza directly in front of the Sabatini entrance. Taxis can drop you right at the edge, and the roll to the doors is perfectly flat and smooth. Avoid the Ronda de Atocha side, as it is noisier and requires more navigation through traffic.

The museum has a 'minimalist and echoing' sensory profile. Acoustically, the corridors of the historic Sabatini building can be reverberant ($60\text{dB}$), while the Nouvel wing is quieter ($50\text{dB}$). Visually, it is very bright with natural light and white walls. Physically, it is ultra-smooth ($0\text{Hz}$). For those with sensory sensitivities, the inner courtyard of the Sabatini building is a very calm, shaded space with a fountain that masks urban noise.

Monday or Wednesday at 10:00 AM. Avoid the 'free hours' in the evening, as the crowd levels make the galleries (especially the Guernica room) very noisy and difficult to navigate. Visiting early allows you to use the glass lifts without queues and enjoy the art in a contemplative atmosphere.

Ask a gallery attendant: '¿Dónde están los ascensores de cristal?' (Where are the glass lifts?). If you need the Nouvel building, ask: '¿Cómo voy al edificio Nouvel de forma accesible?' (How do I get to the Nouvel building accessibly?). The staff are very proactive in guiding PRM visitors through the shortcuts between the two buildings.
