O papel dos museus na disseminação do património cultural: o caso do Museu Nacional da Moeda, Maputo

Abstract

In Mozambique, the problem of lack of visitors is present in almost all museums. This paper describes how museums in Mozambique, but particularly the National Currency Museum, can use various tools to disseminate cultural heritage to the general public, since talking about the role of museums requires, first of all, many aspects related to this institution, such as, for example, its functions. Museums, as heritage archives, where we can find exhibited, great material evidence of the country's cultural heritage, at the same time have the function of researching, preserving and preserving this memory. However, museums still have as a priority the dissemination of cultural heritage. Over time, museums gain another dimension in society, especially the educational function, in which through visits to these institutions, society comes to understand some cultural and scientific aspects, through heritage assets. In this work I highlight the importance of disseminating heritage to students, taking into account the role of the museum in non-formal education.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
