As everyone knows; museums are permanent institutions that take care to preserve and show the heritage to the society.
The landscape has a dual nature (natural and cultural) and is one of the most important heritages of the whole society. And important characteristic of the landscape is its mutability: change in a double sense; as hardware and also how to be perceived.
Since 2000; the year when it was approved the European Landscape Convention in Florence; in the Catalan city of Olot; some learned people and the City Council began to project the Museum of the Landscape of Catalonia; understanding the landscape as the central topic of the museum.
The aim of the project is that visitors can link the local and the global scope; putting their personal points of views in a more general context.
