Economic Recession Has Impact on
Museums And Cultural Centres
SILAS MARTÍ - 03/22/2016
Long gone is the golden age of blockbuster exhibitions that marked the past
few years of Brazil’s cultural scene. The country’s museums have maintained
an ominous silence in relation to their plans for this year of recession. This is
not owing to any desire for secrecy, but rather due to the dominating sense of
uncertainty. For many months, the economic crisis has been quietly gnawing
away at cultural institutions, resulting in devastating staff cuts in almost all of
the country’s museums. However, it is only now that the effects of the downturn
are rearing their ugly head in the public eye, with the start of what ought to be
the exhibition season with the arrival of the São Paulo art fair in two weeks time.
