The collection’s acquisition at Paulista Museum (1990-2015)

ABSTRACT

This paper, based on the dissertation recently defended by the author, presents considerations about the politics and the practice of acquisition of museum collection in the Paulista Museum during the period from 1990 to 2015. The current collection policy of the institution was implemented during the administration of Professor Ulpiano Toledo Bezerra de Meneses in the Master Plan of the institution. This document was fundamental for definitively establishing the Museum's performance in the field of History and Material Culture, as well as linking the acquisition of collections to the research lines of the institution.
