O olhar do outro: a gestão de museus e a sustentabilidade na museologia

Abstract

Reflect on Museum management practices and its role in the XXI century. The Museums through their assets, specimens and equipment have the mission of stimulate appreciation of culture, represent the broadest spectrum of human achievement at the highest level of quality, as well as educate and entertain the public. However, these essential activities need to be rethought, because it alone no longer meets the needs of changing times. The study proposes the designing of Museum Planning chart to be applied in situations and examples of social and environmental programs in Brazilian Museums. We conclude that Museum practice should also encourage active community participation in environmental issues and the full exercise of citizenship, placing itself as an institution that enables the reflexivity of the community members before reality.
