The Museum of Footwear and Industry of Inca has officially joined the International Council of Museums (ICOM), a global organization dedicated to the development of museums and sector professionals. The Inca City Council pointed out this Monday that the accession represents recognition of the museum's work in the conservation, research, and dissemination of heritage related to the history of footwear and the city's industry. The incorporation will also allow for the establishment of links with an international network of museums and professionals to share knowledge, experiences, and best practices.

The large Molinar de Montuïri building, popularly known as the Ecomuseum, will house the Balearic Islands Sports Interpretation Center (CIEIB). The Balearic Government, through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports, headed by Jaume Bauzà, a native of Montuïri, is working towards this goal. While nothing is finalized at this time, discussions for an agreement with the Montuïri City Council, the building's owner, are well advanced. Sources at the Ministry of Tourism explain that the initial plan was to finalize the agreement this February, but it will take several weeks to complete the proposal.
