The Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM) is one of the most significant institutions in the cultural space of the Valencian Community. Its role as a museum of Modern Art is today one of the most important references in national reality museumistics. The consistency of its project, its impact and its consolidation in a relatively short space of time have attracted the attention of specialists. The fact that it arises from an initiative of the public sector and in a relatively periphery in terms of the strong concentration and centralisation that the artistic world is experiencing gives it a special speciality that requires a certain attention to its patterns of management.
