Abstract

This work proposes a reflection on the social role of museums and their educational character, analyzing their positions and actions that help in the fulfillment of their social mission, based on discussions about their potentialities (as a cultural instrument in favor of the subject, the problematics in relation to the stigmas that accompany those cultural institutions), which may hinder its relation with the public and, on the importance of cultural policies anchored to the concept of cultural democracy. The relevance of educational policies directed to museum employees is revealed, revealing their importance in the social role of institutions. In view of the Museu Universitário de Arte, it was analyzed in what level this institution is committed to the personal development of its employees and what their relationship with the institution. To carry out these analyzes, a questionnaire was applied to these employees, where we could observe their specificities for the elaboration of an educational policy directed to this specific group.
