Abstract

Los museos son importantes generadores de cultura que contribuyen a la oferta turística local, lo cual puede tener implicaciones significativas en las economías locales. Estos espacios e instituciones tienen a sufrir problemas financieros en los países en desarrollo debido a la poca importancia que se les asigna desde los sectores público y privado. Se olvidan los beneficios que trae para la economía local y regional la inversión en museos, pues estos pueden atraer nuevas inversiones por parte de quienes buscan lugares con amenidades para sus ejecutivos en un mundo globalizado. También pueden contribuir a crear una oferta turística que atrae viajeros con mayor poder de compra, lo que facilita la preservación en las ciudades con patrimonio cultural. Cartagena no es ajena a esta tendencia de escases de apoyo institucional a los museos y no ha logrado consolidar una oferta cultural sólida, a pesar de contar con un patrimonio histórico y cultural importante. En la ciudad, uno de los museos con mayor tradición es el Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena (MAMC), que posee una valiosa colección de arte que podría contribuir a generar esa oferta turística cultural requerida. El presente documento describe la colección actual del MAMC para dar a conocer al público su evolución y la importancia de dichas obras desde un punto de vista cronológico. Se presentan los antecedentes y la evolución de la colección haciendo énfasis en los principales artistas cuyas obras se exhiben en el museo y el contexto cultural cartagenero en las décadas de 1970 y 1980, años en que se consolidó la mayor colección del MAMC. **** ABSTRACT: Museums are important generators of culture that contribute to the local tourism offer, which can have significant implications for local economies. These spaces and institutions tend to suffer financial problems in developing countries due to the little importance assigned to them by the public and private sectors. The benefits that investment in museums brings to the local and regional economy are forgotten, since they can attract new investments by those who seek places with amenities for their executives in a globalized world. They can also contribute to creating a tourist offer that attracts travelers with greater purchasing power, which facilitates preservation in cities with cultural heritage. Cartagena is no stranger to this trend of scarce institutional support for museums and has not managed to consolidate a solid cultural offer, despite having an important historical and cultural heritage. In the city, one of the museums with the longest tradition is the Museo de Arte Moderno de Cartagena (MAMC), which has a valuable art collection that could contribute to generating the required cultural tourism offer. This document describes the current collection of the MAMC to inform the public about its evolution and the importance of these works from a chronological point of view. The background and evolution of the collection are presented, emphasizing the main artists whose works are exhibited in the museum and the cultural context of Cartagena in the 1970s and 1980s, years in which the largest collection of the MAMC was consolidated.
