The Museo Reina Sofía had no dedicated mobile app. This redesign imagines what one could look like — not as a digital brochure, but as a genuine navigational tool for visitors and art enthusiasts. The design premise is simple: white backgrounds, black type, and let the artwork do the talking. When your content is Picasso, Dalí and Miró, the interface has no business competing with it.

The Reina Sofía — one of the world's most important modern art museums — had no dedicated mobile application. Visitors navigated through a mobile website not designed for phone use: small text, poor image presentation, and no guided experience. The redesign started from a simple question: what would a visitor actually need on their phone?
Home, Temporary Exhibitions, Collections, Artists, Guided Visits and Tickets — each section serves a distinct user need. The navigation structure was designed so that a first-time visitor and a returning art enthusiast can both find what they need without friction.
The visual system was built around a single constraint: never compete with the art. White backgrounds, a single typeface at multiple weights, no decorative elements, no icon clutter. Every color in the app comes from an artwork — the design is neutral so the collection can be vivid.
White canvas. The art brings the color.
Physical device mockups — no frames, no borders. Just the screens.
"Art at your fingertips, without the noise."
The Reina Sofía redesign is an exercise in restraint — in trusting that the content is strong enough that the design's job is simply to present it clearly. A museum app does not need to be exciting. It needs to be useful, beautiful in its clarity, and honest about what it is: a tool for getting closer to art.
