Summary/Abstract: In the environment of complex contemporary social and economic structures, direct exchange of cultural properties is not always possible. It needs the intermediation of a third party, usually an institution that encourages and supports art and carries out the communication between the audience and the wealth of culture artefacts. This research paper focuses especially on the international cultural organizations which have laid the foundations of international cooperation in culture. It also draws attention to culture institutes as structures, funded by the government (autonomous or semiautonomous), that carry out activities related to language training and literature, activities for the popularization of reading or organize cultural events in bigger towns e.g. exhibitions, theatrical performances, cinema nights, etc.
