More than 20,000 travelers have used the Network Museums Program, with those from Valencia and Madrid leading the way

A total of 24,656 Más Renfe travelers have used the discount granted by the Network Museums Program, in which the Ministry of Culture and Renfe collaborate. The most visited museum within the framework of the project has been the National Museum of Ceramics and Sumptuary Arts ‘González Martí’ in Valencia, followed by the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid (MAN).

This is stated by the Executive in a written response, to which Europa Press has had access, in response to a question registered in Congress by the Popular Group.

Specifically, the Valencian art gallery received a total of 13,136 people carrying Renfe tickets, while the MAN welcomed 5,412 beneficiaries. Next, the two museums of Valladolid are located, the National Museum of Sculpture and the Casa de Cervantes Museum, most likely due to the frequency and intensity of traffic of the AVE trains between Madrid and Valladolid.

On the other hand, the least visited state museum within the framework of the program is the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida. The Government has highlighted the “progressive growth” of the impact of the program since its launch, as it has gone from 224 beneficiaries in 2016, to 8,120 in 2023 and 9,107 in the period from January to July 2024.
