Abstract

Heritage education in museums can be understood as a form of cultural literacy. In this sense, museums linked to universities play an important role in society by linking their actions and collection to the academic community and society. Thus, this work aims to verify if heritage education is developed in museums linked to the Federal University of Alagoas. Research characterized as descriptive and with a qualitative approach. It used a questionnaire with 15 questions directed to three museums linked to the Federal University of Alagoas: Théo Brandão Museum, the Museum of Natural History and the Pinacoteca Universitária. However, only the Museum of Natural History participated in the research. It was concluded that the Museum of Natural History effectively carries out actions of heritage education, enabling individuals to have a greater sociocultural understanding as well as the space-time-history trajectory.
