Abstract
UNESCO recognized the World Heritage Site Paseo del Prado and Buen Retiro, a Landscape of Arts and Sciences, in Madrid (Spain), also known as Landscape of Light, on July 25, 2021. This Cultural Landscape, shaped by man throughout history and with exceptional value, concentrates on cultural and artistic spaces highly recognized nationally and internationally, like the Prado Museum. Along the Landscape of Light with this museum coexist the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, and the Museum of Decorative Arts, all national and art museums. Coinciding with the change in the definition of the museum by ICOM in 2022, which explicitly includes accessibility and inclusion in its text, this paper presents the conclusions of the interviews conducted with these four institutions. These interviews aimed to learn about their perception of themselves about accessibility and inclusion, their difficulties in achieving them, and their future perspectives on this issue. Thanks to the MAXQDA software, it is possible to translate qualitative data into quantitative data, going from particular answers of each museum to generalizable results.
