Universitat Internacional de Catalunya - BarcelonaLegal Aspects of Arts Management
Main language of instruction: Catalan
Other languages of instruction: Spanish
En los últimos años los museos y, en general, las fundaciones, en cuanto entidades que administran museos, han adquirido una importante relevancia social dada su configuración como centros que ofrecen una variada gama de actividades culturales, sociales y económicas. Al mismo tiempo, es patente el interés de los Estados por regular las diferentes manifestaciones culturales desarrolladas en sus territorios, hecho que tiene como consecuencia inmediata la existencia de un importante entramado de normas jurídicas.
La conjunción de las circunstancias descritas determina que, para llevar a cabo una gestión correcta y cuidadosa de los museos, sean necesarios unos conocimientos jurídicos mínimos los cuales constituyan el objetivo de estudio de esta asignatura.
