Abstract
The crisis as a condition and transition to a new situation, and the social change that it seems to entail, far away of being exclusively a current phenomenon, it comes with Spanish museums for several decades, because of indecisions, lack of planning, political changes and running strategies. However, it will be since the democratic Transition, and the eighties, when the museum “bubble” will start growing, bursting under the “Guggenheim effect” by the end of twentieth century, with an official budget decrease for the support of the museum system, which is consequence of the economic crisis since, approximately, 2008. The paper aims to analyse this situation and points out that the delicate moment that museums live currently is an opportunity to reconsider their future and adapt to a new changing reality. The Ethnological Museum of Navarre “Julio Caro Baroja” represents a case of adaptation to such circumstances.Downloads
