Museo Goya

What Museo Goya does

Museo Goya is a cultural museum in Zaragoza, Spain, dedicated to the preservation, study, and exhibition of works by Francisco de Goya. Operated by Fundación Bancaria Ibercaja (Tax ID G-50000652, Foundation Registry nº 1689), the institution is housed in a historic 16th-century building and is currently undergoing a major renovation and expansion led by Zaragoza-based Sebastián Arquitectos, with a reopening scheduled for October 2026. Post-renovation, the museum will expand to 4,661m2 and incorporate a new entrance from calle Santiago on the Plaza del Pilar, a 315m2 double-height temporary exhibition hall, immersive experience rooms, interactive digital installations, and a large vertical screen on the façade projecting dynamic content.

The museum's core offering centers on two consolidated permanent galleries — Sala Goya and Sala Goya Grabador — presenting Goya's artistic evolution and his role as a printmaking innovator, complemented by temporary exhibitions, the 'En primera persona' lecture series (seven themed conferences with audiovisual components), and the planned Centro de Estudios Francisco de Goya research center plus cultural mediation workshops on the third floor. During the renovation closure, programming continuity is being maintained through the 'Goya Interludio' temporary exhibition at the Fundación Ibercaja Patio de la Infanta.

Commercially, Museo Goya is a nonprofit cultural institution; its revenue model relies on direct ticket sales through its multilingual website (Spanish, English, French) and ancillary programming, while operating costs are absorbed within the Fundación Ibercaja foundation structure. Customer segments are diffuse — general public visitors, tourists, art enthusiasts, students, and local community members — with no enterprise or contracted clients. Operating geographies are confined to Aragón, Spain. Digital engagement is delivered through Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube channels.
