The event, which was initially scheduled to close at the end of August, was extended until September 20 by the Madrid City Council due to high public demand. During its 65 days of operation, the exhibition reached a daily average of 1,044 people, surpassing the figures of other prominent exhibitions in the capital.
The exhibition offered an immersive journey through three decades using objects, recreations of everyday spaces, and elements linked to the General Basic Education (EGB). Visitors were able to recall school materials, games, and television programs that were part of the educational experience of several generations in Spain.
“"The exhibition has managed to bring different generations together around shared memories and turn that memory into a cultural experience."
The attendance data almost doubles the records of other recent exhibitions in municipal spaces. According to the Delegate of Culture, Marta Rivera de la Cruz, this result confirms the public's interest in a diverse program that successfully integrates heritage, art, and collective memory in an innovative way.
