Análise de políticas públicas museais e a preservação da cultura na cidade histórica de São Borja/RS

Abstract

The present work aims to present a simple and direct view on the main cultural establishments of São Borja / RS, as well as to make a brief situational analysis, aiming to identify strengths and weaknesses that could be improved through simple (and viable ) measures. For this, we first discuss the main theoretical points discussed in this paper, as well as the related legislation applied to the cultural and municipal museums. With the use of local visits to the São Borja / RS museums - choosing to pay more attention and care to the specific case of the Museum Apparício Silva Rillo -, as well as museums of regional representation (in the cities of Passo Fundo / RS, Porto Alegre / RS and São Miguel das Missões / RS), it was sought to list aspects that could serve as a basis for arguing topics that raised the Sao-Borjense museum standard. In addition, with the data collected in bibliographies, questionnaires, interviews and surveys carried out in loco, the objective was to reach a stage of knowledge that would allow the elaboration of suggestions for the improvement of aspects inserted in the museums of the city of São Borja, mainly in the Apparício Silva Rillo Museum. Thus, at the end of the work, the idea is to contribute to local museum development by presenting the main aspects of the analysis, as well as suggesting points that could be improved in order to enrich the cultural experience of visitors and increase the breadth cultural outreach. Finally, it should be pointed out that the present study does not pretend to exhaust the subject, but rather serves as a spark so that the calls for studies and propositions aimed at improving the situation of local museums and their collections are more frequently studied, debated and implemented.
