RESUMO

At present, many authors insist that cultural promotion is to be developed by a net of institutions. Museums occupy an important place in this net. The aims of this work are related to the research of the effects of some aspects of young people and their family and school backgrounds, regarding the access to museums or similar institutions. The further aim is to explore the potential of economic, social and cultural capitals in increasing or reducing these chances. For this study, a self-administered questionnaire was submitted to 2.298 students of the 8th grade of elementary schools, comprising 48 public and private schools within the City of Rio de Janeiro. The questionnaire sought to evaluate, in general, sociodemographic characteristics and, in detail, standard access to museums. The study examines family action on using material and symbolical resources together with the students. Since access to museums involves teachers` and schools` actions, a self- administered questionnaire was made up for the staff directly responsible for the visits. Data analysis was based upon the application of a regression model. In family background, results indicate that different forms of cultural capital, together with social capital in family relations, have special importance in increasing chances of access to museums. In school background, the access to such institutions is closely related to the different school systems.
