Boletín Museo del Oro 55
El Museo del Oro emprendió en los últimos años una transformación de sus exposiciones permanentes (que sin duda son su principal publicación) y de su accionar educativo y de atención al público. Rediseñó varias veces su presencia en Internet, publicó catálogos y materiales educativos. Cambió su estructura y recientemente renovó una parte importante de su personal, tras el retiro por pensión de quienes hicieron el Museo por muchos años. Todos estos cambios muy positivos se vieron reflejados en una pausa en la edición del Boletín. Este número retoma la edición para registrar, divulgar y compartir experiencias y nuevos planteamientos surgidos tras esa transformación, publicando una crónica de los procesos en el ámbito educativo y dos reportes antropológicos sobre multisensorialidad y nuevos públicos.
Hacia el visitante interactivo: un período de transformación en los Servicios Educativos del Museo del Oro
Eduardo Londoño L.
In 1998, the Bogotá Gold Museum began to evaluate and rethink its education services. This rethinking process moved ahead, while in practice leaflets were produced, exchanges were arranged with education staff from other museums, school visits (nowadays pedagogical animations) were reorganised, didactic cases were renewed, and the interactive room (Exploratorium), the cultural programme and the production of two board games all went ahead. A whole chronicle of positions on the question of education within a museum.
El museo multisensorial: cuando la oscuridad hace brillar al oro.
Un antropólogo ciego visita el Museo del Oro
Jorge Andrés Colmenares Molina
With the idea of gaining a first-person impression of how blind persons should be approached at the Bogotá Gold Museum, a blind anthropologist made five visits to the dazzling display of pre-Hispanic objects. Unlike what has happened at other museums, rather than propose special rooms or museums, or separate services, for the blind, he suggested offering all visitors — including those with eyesight problems— multi-sensory tours which involve all the senses and stress the meaning of the objects, their raison d'être in the cultures that produced them, which is the literary and humanistic interest we all look for when we visit a museum.
Las comunidades vulnerables hallan en el Museo del Oro un medio de fortalecimiento
Haydée Rivero
The recently-renovated Bogotá Gold Museum sets out to offer programmes that all members of the public will find attractive. But is the Gold Museum viewed in the same way by all the different socio-cultural groups in the city? Workshops were held and other activities arranged in several of Bogotá's poorer districts, and these enabled people's conceptions of museums, gold, tradition, identity, living together in harmony and joint responsibility to be explored from the anthropology angle. The activities engaged in and the opinions received are described, and the possibilities are presented that have opened up for the museum in its work with the communities that are reinforced through cultural activities.
