CaixaForum Madrid launches an immersive experience inviting visitors to rediscover nature

Madrid is adding an exhibition to its cultural calendar that seeks to do more than entertain. CaixaForum presents ‘Somos Naturaleza’, an immersive offering that combines art, science, technology and interactive experiences to bring the public closer to biodiversity and the role people play in the planet’s balance.

The exhibition invites visitors to move through different spaces where images, sounds, installations and digital resources make it possible to observe nature from unusual perspectives. The aim is not only to show the richness of the natural world, but also to remind us how much urban life depends on ecosystems that often go unnoticed in everyday life.

Far from focusing solely on environmental threats, the exhibition opts for a constructive message. The route focuses on the capacity for adaptation, collaboration between species and the relationship of interdependence between human beings and their surroundings. The experience seeks to awaken curiosity, but also to raise questions about how we live and consume in cities.

The proposal arrives at a time when sustainability forms part of many everyday debates, from water management to the heatwaves that affect Madrid every summer. In that context, the exhibition connects global issues with situations visitors can easily recognise in their own reality.

In addition to the main exhibition, CaixaForum has scheduled complementary activities for families and educational centres. These include sessions in the ‘Pequeños cinéfilos: Todos somos naturaleza’ series, guided visits and participatory proposals designed to bring the content closer to audiences of different ages.

The exhibition can be visited until 7 March 2027. Tickets cost 6 euros and opening hours remain 10:00 to 20:00 every day, including weekends and public holidays, making it easier to visit for both residents and those arriving in Madrid for a few days.

For those seeking different cultural plans this summer, ‘Somos Naturaleza’ offers an unusual combination of outreach, technology and sensory experience. It is not just about observing an exhibition, but about moving through a space designed to look differently at what usually falls outside the urban routine.

In recent years, CaixaForum Madrid has established itself as one of the city’s most dynamic cultural centres. Its programme combines major international exhibitions, family activities and projects that connect art, science and society. Located beside the Paseo del Prado, it has become a regular stop for those looking for proposals capable of going beyond the traditional museum visit.
