Museo de la Luz free in La Latina on 12 March from 19:30 to 00:00 for LuzMadrid's opening

Madrid adds an unmissable new stop to its cultural calendar: the Museo de la Luz, in La Latina, will open its doors free of charge on 12 March. The initiative coincides with the start of LuzMadrid, the international festival that turns the city into a stage for light art for three nights. For those looking for different weekday plans, the proposal allows visitors to explore immersive installations at no cost and experience the city from another perspective.

Free admission will be available from 19:30 until midnight, making it easier for both residents and visitors to join the nighttime route through Madrid’s most emblematic spaces. In addition, on 13 and 14 March, the museum will apply a 50% discount to tickets, extending the opportunity to discover this space at reduced prices.

The Museo de la Luz occupies more than 500 square metres and offers a sensory experience in which light is the absolute protagonist. Its interactive, enveloping installations invite visitors to lose themselves among beams, projections and optical effects, in a setting designed to surprise.

In its third edition, LuzMadrid reinforces its international character with fifteen works by artists from different countries. This year, the festival brings its date forward to the threshold of spring, from 12 to 14 March, and extends its route through spaces such as Matadero, the Galería de Cristal del Palacio de Cibeles, the Beti Jai fronton court and the façade of the Complejo Cultural El Águila. Madrid once again changes its rhythm and is transformed into a vast nocturnal canvas.

The Museo de la Luz, relatively recent on Madrid’s cultural scene, has found its place in La Latina, a neighbourhood used to reinventing itself and hosting cultural proposals that break with the usual. Its commitment to light as an artistic language connects with a city seeking new forms of expression and urban experiences. The space, designed for all audiences, has established itself as a meeting point for those who want to look at Madrid through a different lens.
