Els públics del patrimoni cultural

The mission of the OPPCC is to contribute to the excellence of museums and heritage facilities in their relations with the public, users and interest groups, with the aim of promoting the development of the social use of cultural heritage, both in quantity and quality.

The OPPCC aims to become a reference body for the cultural heritage sector in Catalonia, in terms of research and knowledge of the public.

The OPPCC has positioned itself as a key player in everything that refers to the publics of cultural heritage and its evaluation, supporting the sector to reflect on the knowledge of the public and offering a meeting place for public administrations.

It provides support in this matter to all museums and heritage facilities, prioritizing medium and small ones. It provides the sector with valuable information, characterized by the depth and breadth of quantitative data that will constitute the basis for incorporating qualitative data.

An example of the consolidation and legitimization of the OPPCC within the cultural heritage sector is that all museums and heritage facilities use the standardized and homogenized visitor counting model developed by the OPPCC.

This is also evidenced by the authorities' trust in the OPPCC to execute projects considered as priorities, such as the Social Barometer of Museums of the Museums and Protection of Movable Property Service of the Department of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
