| Sumario: | In this paper different functions attributed to the museum are presented and discussed considering the analysis of contemporary practices that have been executed at the National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico. At first place a historical revision of the institution will be analysed in order to evaluate preservation, the first function of the museum, which includes conservation and collecting. Furthermore, the study follows with the steps of researching and finally the aspects of communication and exhibiting will be analysed. This work does not seek to pass judgment on the institutions nor official organism but rather tries to know and analyse the situation of these three functional areas looking to evaluate the practices and relationships established at the museum. The relevance of this type of study resides in the possibility of knowing from inside a museum of the importance and magnitude as the National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico. |
