¿Han logrado los museo cumplir con su rol social? ¿Cómo se comprometen
nuestras instituciones frente a los cambios de la sociedad? El museo, ¿se ha
convertido, realmente, en un espacio provocativo? ¿Cuáles han sido los
resultados? Sus acciones ¿han sido instrumentos de cambio?
A todos, mis mejores deseos para que este II Seminario se constituya en una
exitosa tribuna de reflexión museal.

WELCOME WORDS
Given the very quick changes that have taken place in society in the last
century and, more specifically, in the last few decades, research within the
different lines of contemporary museology is encouraged by ICOM through its
National and International Committees, with a view to offering an appropriate
theoretical framework for museal activities.
Museums are institutions that are willing to serve society and as such, in the
last few years, they have reinforced their capacity to meet the many social
demands imposed upon them. There are more and more experts participating
in the different disciplines that make up the permanent or temporary structure
of museums; however, we do not come across much research work in which
museums and museology are the object of analysis.
Have museums managed to fulfill their social role? How do our institutions
undertake their commitments vis-à-vis changes in society? Have museums
indeed become provocative spaces? Which have been the outcomes? Are
their actions instruments of change?
Certainly, during this Second Meeting, these and many more queries will be
answered and, furthermore, we will invite you to think about the guidelines for
future research work.
I wish you all the best and hope that this Second Seminar turns into a
successful fórum for reflecting on museum-related topics.
