Patrimônio para todos e as políticas culturais no Brasil: os museus federais sob os princípios do Desenho Universal.

Abstract

Gon universal access to federal museums linked to the Brazilian Museum Institute, as adjustments or, simply, the detection of means that characterize the application of Universal Design methods in these conditions. As a result, it is also an objective to observe the interdisciplinary work that does not occur in the interval, mainly in accessibility. This group of museums is presented as an empirical body, in view of the origin of the administration, who is responsible for proposing and operationalizing a museum policy in Brazil. Also, they are museums that, due to the condition of their collection and headquarters, require more planning of access and accessibility. On the other hand, due to the importance of the collection and the themes that define them, museums that can receive all audiences. For this study, a qualitative and quantitative research was carried out, which aimed to gather data to understand Universal Design in the theoretical context, in the museological plans and / or accessibility programs, practices, applied in the twenty-nine museums linked to IBRAM. Thus, at the first moment, the museum was categorized by items that pointed to the level of complexity of implementing accessibility in each institution. In a second step, through the analysis in loco, operated on a sampling for convenience that is explained in the body of the work, eight museums were selected in the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais, in which it was possible to make an effective selection. These museums were selected according to the internal organization of IBRAM. The Universal Design Principles are used as the basis of this study, which evaluate or understand again the access to fungi that make decisions of managers in solutions that privilege or collect information about individuals. In the theoretical field, authors were used that corroborate with a perspective of universality of access found in the sphere of Human Rights, using the law and the exercise of cultural citizenship, thus guiding which environments are those that are subject to diverse audiences and that they are able to acquire, participate, exhibit with autonomy, regardless of their individual characteristics. The conclusion points out that, although IBRAM has already launched some actions related to the cultural accessibility agenda, a practice has not followed a theory. It was also found that there is a disparity between museums of large, medium and small size, with no possibility of universal access.
