El Patrimonio Inmaterial. Oportunidades tangibles para el desarrollo expositivo de los museos catedralicios

This article reflects on the wealth and possibilities of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in cathedral museums. Cathedrals have a great potential to develop exhibition policies that include intangible heritage elements as defined by UNESCO. Cathedral museums have the exceptional advantage over other museums of housing some of these manifestations within their own walls. Cathedral chapters are the main depositories of these intangible practices and administer the historic properties and artifacts associated to them. A better management of these resources could contribute to improve their cultural impact and to disseminate their collections.
