The paper explores the place of the intangible cultural heritage in Europe as a geographical region and within the European Union (EU) as most important regional organization. The first step of the research concerns the legal, political and institutional relationship between Europe as a region, the European Union as most important regional organization and the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in Europe. It offers an interdisciplinary analysis of this relationship. The second step focuses on the way the EU policy towards museums takes into account new participatory paradigms, enhancing communities, groups and individuals, being in the heart of the UNESCO 2003 Convention.
