Experiences at the Museum of the Federal University of Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil
This paper presents the project “Planning Unifal’s museum: the student’s relationship with Unifal’s heritage and memory” that is being developed since 2008 in order to guide the students of the university and stimulate the external community to participate in the basic steps of creating a museum: developing internal policies, organizing, cleaning, storing the collections, planning and setting up exhibits, among other activities. As one of the project’s outcome, we shall present an exhibit that addresses important issues about museums and heritage, emphasizing the role of museums in shaping the concepts of museum and heritage.
