Mediações em exposições do MUnA - Museu Universitário de Arte

Abstract

This paper presents the study of guided tours at the University Museum of Art (MUnA) between 1998 and 2011. The study is based on the memories reported by the tour guides, who are students and teachers of the Visual Art course of Federal University of Uberlandia. The tour guides reports were important methodological tools in analyzing the goals, dynamics and strategies employed in the educational practices of communication between the visitor and the art. The author selected relevant episodes in the educational path of MUnA, through which it is possible to identify MUnA s development. Its development showed that despite changing tour guides and different administrative attitudes, MUnA created activities around its public space; for example, the exhibition gallery, auditorium and courtyard and studio. On these three spaces, throughout thirteen years, a variety of tours occurred. First, in the gallery was appreciation and interaction with the art work. Secondly, in the auditorium and courtyard was exhibition theme reflection and Museum rules. Finally, in the studio was hands on plastic creativity. In conclusion, this research is intended to identify and analyze the guided tours and suggest ideas to assist in developing new plans and strategies for MUnA.
