The Brazilian Institute of Museums is an autonomous body linked to the Ministry of Culture, the managing body of the National Policy of Museums. Created by Law No. 11.906, on January 20, 2009, one of its main objectives is the promotion of programs and projects aimed at the organization, management, and development of museums. It works to improve the physical and structural conditions of museums, to promote greater articulation and exchange within the museum sector, and to expand and democratize public access to memory institutions. As museums are places of social transformation and development, another priority of the institute is to encourage and create tools that enable social empowerment for all those who have a desire for memory.[1][2][3]
