Un paseo por el Bariloche de 1917. Una exposición para pensar la arqueología

Abstract

The communication of science in museums responds to communication models, either implicitly or explic itly, that assign certain roles to visitors and curators, that entail a position and an understanding about the knowl edge status being constructed in the museum space. The process of development of the exhibition Walking around Bariloche in 1917: a tour that join together frag ments, stories and institutions, was created in 2017 at the Museum de la Patagonia (city of Bariloche, Rio Negro Province, Argentina). The exhibition confronted us to the challenge of revealing the way in which urban histori cal Archaeology works. To this purpose, was designed an approach that interpellates the visitors through diverse museographic resources, with few objects and an em phasis in interpretative charts. We adhere to the idea of a model of museum, which enables an active search for sharing power with the community understanding the “museological” phenomenon as a production of mean ings through the ordering, conjugation and structuring of the elements of the proposed exhibition.
