Recuperart-19

Un exemple de com els museus poden contribuir a millorar la salut i el benestar de les persones

Sonia Blasco , Janina Berzosa

Publication date: 20/02/2023

Abstract


Recuperart-19 és un projecte de col·laboració entre l’àmbit sanitari i cultural que demostra com els museus poden contribuir positivament a la salut i al benestar de les persones. El programa neix com a resposta a la crisi sanitària de la covid-19 i és fruit de la bona entesa entre Cultura i Salut dels últims anys. A banda de presentar el projecte Recuperart-19, pioner a escala internacional, i compartir com vam viure la seva posada en marxa des del Servei de Museus, aquest article també mostra com es va començar a estrènyer la relació entre el Departament de Cultura i el de Salut, que és la base de molts altres projectes interessants en aquest àmbit.

#museuobert: una iniciativa perquè els museus no s’aturessin durant el confinament

Enric Zapatero , Mari Vállez

Publication date: 26/07/2022

Abstract


The COVID-19 pandemic initially led to a lockdown that halted cultural activity around the world. Museums had to close their doors and the only means of communication was through their own digital spaces. Initiatives such as #museuobert were born out of the need to keep the cultural sector alive and at the same time helped change the paradigm of digital communication in museums. Making their collections available online is the present and future of many museums. Communication departments need to understand this and adapt to the situation in order to be present in the social and cultural conversation.

The Impact of the Pandemic on Catalan Museums

Antoni Laporte

Publication date: 20/09/2022

Abstract


Covid-19 caused a profound impact on the Catalan cultural system and, as a result, on the heritage field too. The global nature of the pandemic had similar effects in all countries. The lockdown first and the following limitations on mobility during the two years of the pandemic caused severe blows on attendance to museums, their income and especially their work teams. The imprint of this crisis left a profound mark in the sector, from fierce situations such as shutdowns and the resulting layoffs to the suspension of many activities. It should be noted that its different effects can be classified according to three main factors: location (museums located in territories with a strong tourist dependence have suffered the most), size (managing teams during lockdown and teleworking has been more complex for large organizations), and ownership (although the impact of the pandemic has been widespread and large and publicly owned museums have suffered severe consequences, the situation has been even more dramatic among the rich network of private facilities, which mostly depend on the income that they gather from visitors). In these long months of the pandemic, the sector focused a very considerable part of its efforts on increasing and improving its digital offer. Hopefully, at least, we used this crisis to consolidate some insight and to update digital resources.
