Abstract: Today's museums assume an increasing dynamism with the society. This new reality requires the continuous process of readjusting its activities. In this context, it is possible to see that the subject of Sustainable Development and Museums is becoming more and more present. However, to recognize, contribute or even know what to do in the face of this new challenge, a set of interdisciplinary actions is needed in the search for models, processes and modes of operation that can contribute to this new paradigm. In the face of this challenge, an initial study is presented that aims to draw attention to the need to measure the real contribution of Museums to Sustainable Development and suggests the continuity of the research with the organization of a methodological process that intends to select indicators to measure the levels of Museums' sustainability and, based on these results, recommends the elaboration of a Good Practices guide for Museums in Portugal.
