O percurso europeu do museólogo Livo Xavier Júnior e o seu retorno a Fortaleza (Brasil)

Abstract

This paper tells the narrative of the travel by Lívio Xavier Júnior in Madrid and Paris to perform a formative journey in Museology. Lívio was an employee from Universidade Federal do Ceará when he qualified for a grant from the Instituto Hispânico de Cultura to perform studies that could conttribute to the process of the founding of the art museum on that same university, the MAUC. During that stay in Europe, he met the artist Sérvulo Esmeraldo in Paris with whom he developed a journey of technical visits in museums across Europe. By his travel journal we get to know the museums and more importantly the professionals with whom they established contact and built a process for the professional education in the field.
