Ibermuseums Museological Heritage Fund

Since its creation, the Ibermuseums Museological Heritage Fund has established itself as an essential tool for the preservation of the cultural heritage protected by ibero-american museums. Through this mechanism, the Programme responds quickly and effectively to damages affecting museum collections, recognizing that any loss in a museum in the region impacts world cultural heritage.

The Fund operates in complementary ways: one focused on preventive measures, such as diagnosis and intervention plans through; technical assistance and ponctual intervention to ensure coverage of risks and contingencies; and, to promote the social appropriation of heritage with collaboration between different actors for risk management and early care.

In addition to its direct support role, the Fund has become a catalyst for innovative and sustainable practices in preventive conservation, risk management and community participation. Its implementation has strengthened local capacities and consolidated a broad base of participating institutions, broadening the impact of each call.

As part of its commitment to transparency and the dissemination of knowledge, Ibermuseums makes available a Repository of the Fund, where you can consult the projects benefited and experiences developed in different countries, becoming a valuable reference for museums and professionals in the sector.

With all this, and in accordance with Strategic Objective 2 of the Ibermuseums, Museological Heritage is consolidated as an essential instrument for the protection and social appropriation of heritage, promoting more inclusive conservation practices, fostering community participation, strengthening the capacity of museums to identify and manage risks and promoting conservation practices understood as a collective responsibility.
