La fête de l’objet: les signes de participation présents au Musée de l’Homme du Nordeste

Abstract

The concept of Street Market in Aécio de Oliveira’s (1938-2012) museological project and his dialogue with the so-called Social Museology is in the center of the research here presented. The Museu do Homem do Nordeste (Museum of the Northeastern Man – MUHNE) is the result of plans elaborated and discussed over time; it is not a museum invented on the precise date of 1979. In this sense, the present text considers it important to study the different paths of the objects in MUHNE’s collection, making it possible to map the circulation of the cultural heritage. The objects of MUHNE’s collection are witnesses of the debates promoted by different actors, concerned with preserving monuments, documents and objects.
