To the Lázaro Galdiano Museum My daughter and I have been many times to participate in family workshops. Once we were playing to put a forest in boxes, when the centenary of the Foundation could not more and had to be cut down, we have also participated in activities to bring the voices to the Museum in a very fun radio exercise. The Foundation is a beautiful and charming place to be in the center of Madrid surrounded by cars. The Museum is on the corner of Serrano and María de Molina streets and whenever we have gone they have treated us exquisitely. We love the Foundation that does an extraordinary job of maintenance and dissemination of culture with children in mind.
For a few months they are making many efforts to make themselves known and recently they just published a YouTube video called Enters! which encourages us to know the Museum with families, with friends and also with schools. And is that the Lázaro Galdiano Museum It offers dynamic visits and specially adapted to the needs of each class for elementary, secondary and high school students. They have educators to accompany and bring art to children with topics such as: trip to the Middle Ages, gods, creatures Y mens. The mythology at the Lázaro Galdiano Museum, women: inspiring and protagonists of art, lion's feet, eagle wings: the fantastic animals of the Lázaro Galdiano Museum, and many more.
One more course, as he has been doing since 2007, the Lázaro Galdiano Museum participates in the Madrid cultural program: an open book, for schools in the capital. Thanks to this collaboration, there are thousands of schoolchildren Every year they go through the museum rooms enjoying the great quantity and quality of the collections. The visit is prepared in advance at the center and, at the Museum, an educator will accompany the students on a participatory visit appropriate to their knowledge.
I recommend that all families approach the Lazaro Galdiano Foundation website, always updated and with good usability, to choose exhibitions, tours and enjoy the extraordinary legacy of its creator José Lázaro Galdiano, Navarre de Beire who was born on January 30, 1862 and that in Madrid I boost the culture with Modern Spain (1889-1914), a magazine in which prominent authors and intellectuals of the time collaborated as Galdós, Clarion, Pereda, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Unamuno, Valera, Zorrilla, Campoamor, Menendez Pelayo, Canovas. The magazine is available in the National Library of Spain. Lázaro Galdiano died at his residence in Parque Florido on December 1, 1947 leaving as sole heir of all his assets to the Spanish State.
