Abstract

We discuss, in this paper, the art collections in public institutions in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We seek to comprehend how these spaces have (or have not) developed policies for cultural access in local (municipality, state, and country) and international contexts. We base our reflections on the international debate on culture policies geared to collections, as well as to analyze the local politics impacted by the relatively recent concern in the city with the museological characteristics of its cultural equipment such as the National Museum Policy (PNM), the Brazilian Museum System (SBM) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco). The focus in Belo Horizonte is objectively on the selection of three collections: the Museological Art Collection of the State University of Minas Gerais (UEMG), the collection of the Pampulha Art Museum (MAP) and the collection of the Minas Gerais Academy of Letters (AML).
