National Council of Museums
The National Council of Museums is a body designated to advise the Ministry of Culture on the development of policies, plans and programs in the area of museums. The Council seeks to have a national participation and representation based on the articulation of territorial and thematic networks. Its creation was based on the National Artistic Areas Councils, but has an exclusive regulation. These National Councils were passed by the General Culture Law of 1997, and the Museums Council was created in 2013. The members of the Council come from the Ministry of Culture, from representatives with a long history in the museum sector and from representatives of the five regional groups in the country.

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
