For the sixth year running, TRAM has renewed its partnership agreement with the MACBA, the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB), the Fundació Joan Miró, the Picasso Museum, the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) and the Fundació Antoni Tàpies to help promote the exhibitions of these museums and cultural centres through the Barcelona tram. This consolidated partnership has a very special dimension this year, as it coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Articket group.
This joint ticket for Barcelona’s main art museums was created as a way to help people access the city’s heritage at a very competitive price, and a quarter of a century later, this passport to Barcelona’s culture is one of the preferred options for local residents.
The partnership between TRAM and the six museums that make up the Articket group is aimed at dynamizing the city’s culture, promoting awareness of what’s on offer at the city’s museums and advertising their exhibition programmes. Through the agreement, TRAM commits to promoting the visibility of the cultural proposals and encouraging people to visit museums through various actions implemented over the course of 2023 and 2024 through its corporate channels.
Tram users will be able to find out about Barcelona's cultural offering through two channels – the posts on TRAM’s social networks and the vinyls created for the tram network by each of the six museums.
The agreement also includes other points, such as the dissemination of art and culture through TRAM’s channels and the use of spaces to organise activities and events. Specifically, during the year that marks Articket’s 25th anniversary, TRAM will be promoting the city’s culture by giving away 25 passports to its followers. The anniversary comes at a moment of great international artistic relevance as it coincides with the beginning of the celebrations for the years dedicated to Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso and Antoni Tàpies.
