This essay is about the work methodology used in the 2004 opened NMAI and also about the experience gained during the exhibition project done in collaboration with the Native people from Latin America, Q'eqchf'-Maya of Guatemala, Mapuche of Chile, and Quechua of Peru. The process of the project comprises several work phases which are explained here shortly in order to show how the Native knowledge has been integrated in the Museum's work.

MIRANDO A AMÉRICA LATINA DESDE EL MUSEO: NUEVAS APROXIMACIONES Y NUEVAS PRÁCTICAS2021 •
En este número, nos aproximarnos a la cultura latinoamericana contemporánea desde una perspectiva museística. Se abordan aquí diferentes temáticas, entre otras, el dialogo intercultural y la cooperación; los museos comunitarios; la participación de las poblaciones autóctonas en los (nuevos) discursos museísticos y los procesos de construcción de la memoria colectiva. Al mismo tiempo, el número presenta también reflexiones vinculadas a los procesos de restitución y repatriación (de objetos sensibles y de restos humanos), y al acceso de las poblaciones nativas a determinados objetos (considerados) sagrados contenidos en los museos.
This article describes the history of Chile’s national museums, focusing in particular on their exhibition of indigenous cultures. Three museums have been considered; the National Museum of Natural History (originally the National Museum), the National Museum of Fine Arts and the National Museum of History. Using museum catalogs, visitor’s guides and bulletins as the most important sources, this research traces the role given to indigenousness in the museums’ exhibitions through time. The ‘indian’ was first presented as part of the territory conquered by Chileans, or not considered part of Chilean culture at all. By the twentieth century, a new narrative emerged which recognizes the indigenous people as the ‘pre-historic’ inhabitants of Chile. Finally, a more recent narrative presents Chile as a blending of races and cultures. Overall, we see that even today the national museums continue to present a monolithic narrative on nationhood that allows no place for indigenous people beyond mestizaje
Lanzarote Guiral, J.M. (2012), "Rediscovering the Americas: the making of Latin American archaeological collections in Spanish national museums". In: Poulot, D., F. Bodenstein and J. M. Lanzarote Guiral, Eds. (2012), Great Narratives of the Past. Traditions and Revisions in National museums. Linköping University Press, pp. 297-315 This paper explores the gradual making and display of Latin American archaeological collections in Spanish national museums, and sets out to understand this process in the framework of the elaboration of national master narratives in Spain about the conquest and colonisation of the Americas. Two institutions in particular will be considered in this analysis: the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Arqueológico Nacional), established in 1867 and the Museum of the Americas (Museo de América), inaugurated in 1965 as an offspring of the former, both located in Madrid. By studying diachronically these museums in their political and intellectual context, I aim to reflect critically on the changing meaning and the growing significance endowed upon Latin American collections in Spain throughout the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries. As this paper sets out to demonstrate, the way these collections were displayed reflects directly the interpretations developed by historians and thinkers on Spain’s former role on the American continent, as well as its aspirations in contemporary international relations.
Visitor's guide, Jacinto Jijón y Caameño Museum
Visitor's guide, Jacinto Jijón y Caameño Museum (translation & coordination)2014 •
This book serves as a guide to the rich archeological and artistic history of the Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño Museum, and serves as an orientation for your visit. Its three chapters reflect the great areas of archeology, art and national symbols that the museum holds. The first chapter, written by the archeologist Luis G. Lumbreras, is a panoramic, overall view of the data that Jacinto Jijón y Caamaño used to contribute to a land of what we now call and live in, Ecuador. In order to relive historical times, there is no better resource for getting to know them than the sites where different groups lived over the centuries (settlements), the tools they used to store goods, prepare and consume food, work the land, hunt, fish, and the remnants of their beliefs and customs, which can be found in historical objects or in the territories where they lived. This silent testimony is proof of the many cultures that lived before us, which is why this part of the museum is, in Lumbreras’ words, “An archive of the testimony we have of our oldest ancestors.”
Community museums now exist throughout the world. Community museums are initiatives that embody the definition of ICOM, which considers that museums should be “in the service of society and its development”. In general terms, a community museum constitutes a tool of identity reaffirmation and of social and heritage empowerment. Symbolically, two key moments can be identified in the formulation of the concept of a museum linked to social development. One of them was the 1971 concept of the ‘Ecomuseum’, idealized by Huges de Varine’s as a new type of museum, framed by the environment and liberated from being within four walls. The other, occurred a year later, at the Round Table in Santiago, Chile, where the concept of the ‘Integral Museum’ was born. This advanced the notion that a museum does not have to be stuck within the temporal past of its collections, instead, the integral museum looks for new ways of being integrated into society and contributing to its development. Here we endeavor to reflect on the variety that exists between community museums in European, Latin American and Caribbean contexts, demonstrating how each country or region adapts to its own realities and needs.

Design features of the Inca museum of culture2020 •
Submitted: 27 June 2020 Revised: 18 July 2020 Accepted: 9 August 2020 The paper deals with the development of a design concept for a museum of Inca culture in Ecuador. The current trends in the organization of historical museums in Latin America are presented. An overview of the graphic support of the Latin American museums of culture, archeology, and history is made. The historical foundations of the Museum of Inca culture are presented, the iconography of the Inca civilization of various periods is analyzed. The current state of the museum, the history of its foundation, prerequisites for creating a new brand are described. Associative graphic images for creating a new logo for the museum were considered, corporate colors were substantiated, and components of the brand were developed. This will strengthen the museum's brand and increase its social significance for the popularization of the Inca culture.
In this essay, we analyze the museum scripts and exhibitions at the two southernmost museums in the world: Museo del Fin del Mundo (MFM, Ushuaia, Argentina) and Museo Antropol ogico Mart ın Gusinde (MAMG, Puerto Wil-liams, Chile). The research focuses on the representations of Fuegian Indigenous peoples who inhabited (and still inhabit) Tierra del Fuego. To this end, comparative analyses are based on (a) the Indigenous societies represented; (b) the types of materials exhibited (archaeological, ethno-graphic, contemporary); (c) the uses of oral/written/photo-graphic information; and (d) the types of museum displays used in each display case. The analyses aim to identify and discuss the different underlying anthropological discourses about the Indigenous Fuegian societies, their associations with past and present, prehistoric and historical events in Chile and Argentina, their visibility as "sub-jects" and/or "agents" within the contemporary local Fuegian communities, and their involvement in the formation of the museum's exhibitions.
