Spanish is the most spoken language in the U.S. after English, with more than 41 million people using it at home or as their first language. Additionally, millions of tourists from Latin America and Spain visit the U.S. each year, and the importance of offering Spanish becomes clear.

Glenstone Museum, in Potomac, Maryland, is known for its unique blend of art, architecture, and landscape. Earlier this year, Glenstone introduced Living Map’s digital mapping platform to help visitors navigate its expansive grounds. Now, with the addition of a full Spanish version, Glenstone is opening its doors to a wider audience, making both art and the museum experience more accessible and inclusive.

How it works

Navigation: The map guides visitors effortlessly from one gallery or outdoor installation to another, ensuring nobody feels lost on Glenstone’s grounds.
Step-free routes: For those with accessibility needs, the platform highlights stair-free paths, making it easier for everyone to explore.
Spanish: With the new language option, Spanish-speaking visitors can enjoy the same clarity and ease of navigation as English speakers.

By breaking down language barriers, Glenstone is taking a meaningful step toward inclusion. Visitors who speak Spanish as a first language, or who feel more comfortable engaging with cultural spaces in Spanish, now have equal access to Glenstone’s world-class collection and serene landscapes.

This isn’t just about practicality; it’s about strengthening the visitor experience. When people can move through the museum effortlessly, in their own language, they are more likely to slow down, reflect, and connect with what’s in front of them.

Ultimately, the Spanish map sets the stage for future multilingual offerings and positions the museum as a leader in creating spaces where art truly is for everyone - porque el arte es para todos (because art is for everyone).
