Spanish term or phrase:patrimonialización
This is a reflection on the process by which a Spanish museum built its collection after Franco:

Explanation: * I would interpret "patrimonialización" here in a technical sense here: - they began to acquire works/ initiated a process of accession (something that was not done during Franco's regime) which implies the creation of public patrimony and a cultural heritage although it does not actually state it. are ways to work "heritage" or "patrimony" into the sentence (or perhaps another parts of the same document) but this would require adding a bit of text and a consulting with the client.
Instead of "the museum began a process of accession of works that presented several generations of artists," for example, you could put "the museum began the process of accumulating a cultural patrimony /heritage by acquiring the work of several generations of artists. (Not stating "what artists" (although I imagine they were Catalan artists) seems a bit odd.
