MUSEUMS AS EDUCATIONAL SPACES

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is thinking the Museum spaces as educational practice. Conceiving them as a differentiated leisure, one has a false representation of that part of the population would be unable to take advantage of your collections. Starting from a historical perspective about the museums and the theory of Pierre Bourdieu, we sought to observe mental structures that establish cultural barriers for some languages and practices. In this sense, as inspiration, we have visited some collections in order to seize the approximation strategies and/or removal of their exhibitions. Finally, the questioning of engagement with culture practices responsible in large part for the formation of a cultural capital has provoked a reflection on the different ways to enjoy and how become sensitize with various cultural artifacts.
