The Soft Room. A space adapted for babies up to 12 months

EducationalIVAM Centre Julio González

IVAM’s new Soft Room is the museum’s response to a need to adapt its architecture for visitors of all ages. The room is designed especially for families with babies aged 0–1, where rest is welcome, pauses are an option, and the wellbeing of families is a priority for the museum. With soft cushioned walls and flooring for lying on or relaxing, with a texture pleasant to touch, and natural light, the IVAM offers a new way of visiting the museum: an oasis of calm in the frenetic pace of adult life and the city itself, offering another way of being in and inhabiting the museum’s spaces. Located in IVAMlab2, the room is available every day during the museum’s opening hours. The Soft Room includes an adjacent restroom equipped with an accessible toilet and changing table. Access can be requested at the ticket desk, where staff will provide all necessary information for using the space.
