 Museums will be reading the reality of the world. This is about the societies in which they operate, the territories where they are located, the communities of which they are part. Looking over the various initiatives produced for this day, in the case of Portuguese museums, we find a little bit of everything.In the catalog of Pporto de Museums (Portugal DIM 2020=  we can have an overview of the different proposals, in this YEAR MARKED FOR THE “REOPENING” OF DOORS, after the forced confinement caused by COVID19.Among the cases of museums that take advantage of the theme to publicize their collections, even those who sought to approach the theme by developing the “spoils” of their collections, or looking for new readings and narratives according to this theme, we find a portrait of this reality that it consists of Portuguese museums. This is a reality. An issue that has been debated, under the great thematic hat, is the role that museums can play in reducing social inequalities. For example, in this two months of confinement, museums have strongly developed digital and virtual access proposals. One of the results that is already known of this “new reality” as a response to the pandemic, is that the availability of collections online is far from being used extensively by society.From what we are getting to know, from the data of the “forced” to the digital transition, it is that this process accentuated the inequalities and reinforced the predominantly elitist access of the cultural. Museum professionals used a narrative and processes that were aimed primarily at themselves. This mirror effect of the digitization processes of museums is a result of their practices. Are the Portuguese museums, in this DIM2020, contributing to the promotion of equity in inclusion and diversity in all its dimensions?
