O Papel dos museus na disseminação do património cultural: o caso do museu nacional da moeda, Maputo

Abstract

In Mozambique, the problem of a lack of visiting public is present in almost all museums. This work describes how museums in Mozambique, but in particular the National Currency Museum, can use the various tools for the dissemination of cultural heritage to the vast public, since talking about the role of museums requires, first of all, many aspects relating to this institution, such as its functions. Museums, as a heritage archive, where we can find exhibits, great material evidence of the country's cultural heritage, at the same time have the function of researching, conserving and keeping this memory. However, museums still have the priority of disseminating cultural heritage. As time passes, museums gain another dimension in society, especially the didactic function, in which, through visits to these institutions, society will understand some cultural and scientific aspects, through heritage assets. In this work, I highlight the importance of the dissemination of heritage to the student group, taking into account the role of the museum, in non-formal education. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
