The Museo Reina Sofía has bottomed economically, so it is necessary to increase public support or at least maintained, not being possible to make more cuts, “as the following would turn off the light.” This was recognized by the director of the museum, Manuel Borja-Villel Burriana; and Deputy Managing Director, Michaux Miranda, during the presentation of the Reina Sofia programming for next season.
In his charge, from the institution “have done their homework” to get double the income and own lower costs. But this is not enough for a museum whose accounts were settled last year with one million euros in negative, a figure to which Michaux Miranda expected to stay away in the current year, but does not rule. “We have reached the red lines and can not make more cuts,” said
Borja-Villel is working to achieve by the state a commitment to at least the supports remain.: “From that we’ve hit bottom, everyone is aware.”
The search for equity in different ways, increasing the sponsors, donations through the Foundation Queen Sofia and continue organizing exhibitions outside Spain, an activity which last year reported a million euros, are the objectives of those responsible for the museum.
According to Borja-Villel, who ruled out a rise in the price of inputs, the schedule for next season has not been affected by the economic situation of the institution. One of the exhibitions highlights in this program is the first to bring to Spain by artists such as Edvard Munch, Kandinsky, Picasso, Juan Gris, Paul Klee or Andy Warhol to be part of the exhibition dedicated to the collection of the Kunstmuseum Basel.
About the visitors to the Reina Sofia, the director said that until August have received 1,900,493 visitors, down 21%. H
