RESUMO:

Museums play an important role in finding acceptance for sustainability in a society because their practice can encourage the adoption of operationally sustainable policies as well as educating population by raising their level of consciousness and transcendence. Through a comparative analysis this paper evaluates two museums in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte regarding their implementation of sustainable polices through their activities and buildings, as well as, the visitors’ perception of these policies. The Museu Mineiro and The Museu de Artes e Oficios were selected as study cases. Both museums have been allocated buildings of historic value, dating from 19th century, which played a very meaningful role for the creation and development of the city of Belo Horizonte. Three different questionnaires were employed to collect information related to the museums: The first questionnaire investigates administrative staff members, the second all other staff members and the third the museums’ visitors. The first questionnaire focuses on current practices of sustainability implemented by the museums regarding their social, economic and environmental approaches. The second questionnaire investigates the perception and actual practices of staff members at work and in their personal lives. Finally, the third questionnaire turns attention to the visitors’ perception regarding the relationship between the subject of sustainability and the museum, as well as, the inclusion of the subject into their daily lives. The comparative analysis of the three questionnaires provides the following results: 1) the museums now intend to make changes in their policies on sustainability and related activities, even though they have not many such formally established policies; 2) there are difficulties with the sustainable activities that the staff practice; 3) visitors experienced difficulties in comprehending knowledge about sustainability despite expressing prior knowledge on the topic, and also, they demonstrated interest in learning more about sustainability. Consequently, it is important to institute formal policies for museums and society concerning aspects of sustainability especially for those museums, which seek to educate and raise public awareness for better preservation of the environment.
