The article shows a brief history of the construction of the undergraduate course on Museology of the Information Science School of UFMG. Emphasis is given to the link of the course with the general program of restructuring and amplification of the undergraduate courses of the School as well as the efforts in integrating the new course with the existing Library Studies and Archivology courses. Epistemological references in the field of Museology and Information Science are given and also, questions are raised about museums as institutions and fields and spaces for the professional practice in Museology. Finally, some elements of the pedagogical project of the course (which starts in early 2010) are presented.
