“Museália” - os principais aspectos da recomendação referente à proteção e promoção dos museus e coleções, sua diversidade e seu papel na sociedade.

Abstract

The reciprocal interaction between museum, collections and society from the first Wunderkammern – or cabinet of curiosities – to the most modern museums, has been modified over time, giving rise to social and cultural trends specific to each historical moment. The Recommendation on the Protection and Promotion of Museums and Collections, their Diversity and their Role in Society, approved on November 17, 2015 by the UNESCO General Conference at its 38th session, makes an important contribution by listing concepts and principles in its normative text. necessary for the protection and promotion of museums and collections in the contemporary scenario of the 21st century. This article aims to analyze the main aspects of the Recommendation in promoting awareness of important issues that affect museums and collections and the relationship of these issues between States and society in general. Next, it is intended to affirm as a hypothesis, the important mission of the Recommendation for the development of political-normative actions between UNESCO Member States and society as a whole, because, despite the UNESCO Recommendations not being binding instruments to the States -members, the principles and norms established in it spread beyond its territory, reaching different actors, state and non-state.
