Um estudo sobre as condições do Museu de Cultura Popular Djalma Maranhão para reabertura pós-pandemia - Natal/RN

Abstract

The main focus of the present work was to analyze the infrastructure conditions for the reopening and safe return of the Museu de Cultura Popular Djalma Maranhão within the post-pandemic context, based on the perceptions of the museum's management and staff. With a qualitative approach, an interview was carried out with the museum supervisor and to obtain the necessary information, an interview was carried out based on a list of protocols recommended by the Brazilian Institute of Museums and by the International Council of Museums. From the results obtained, it is noticeable that all the initial recommendations on safety protocols at the beginning of the pandemic were followed according to testimonials, in addition to some initiatives to make contact and schedules online with the public. However, over 2020 and 2021, the management's reasons for not having developed a detailed plan for the reopening and return of visits to the museum were different. The return of visits is centered on issues of infrastructure and the return to "normality" with the advance of vaccination.
