Description

Abstract

Due to museums popularity and their social, cultural, and scientific roles, there has been a growing interest in investigating how teaching occurs at museums and their contributions to the public awareness of science. Museums present an innate type of discourse named museological, consisting of various elements found on explanations, which visitors can interact with. This study analyzes the museological discourse of a paleontological exhibition, concluding that it is essentially contemplative, with a predominance of authoritarian discourse on the exhibited texts, as seen in the pedagogical discourse.
