This article proposes an analysis of the educational-environmental potentiality of the natural history museum exhibitions, in order to bring relevant reflections for the development of a socio-environmental discourse. It presents the results of an exploratory and bibliographical research, of qualitative, descriptive and reflexive character. The theoretical basis to the contrasting of the hypotheses with the data analysis is supported by authors such as Cury (2006, 2013), Floriani (2000, 2008), Fortin-Debart (2003), Hooper-Greenhill (2003, 2010), Marandino (2011) and Valente (2003). The first hypothesis suggests the exhibitions of the natural history museum presents educational-environmental potentiality based on the introduction of didactic innovations. The seconds suggests the emergence of an expository discourse of a socio-environmental nature in the natural history museum, conditioned by the changes experienced in its scientific, cultural and social contexts. The findings in relation to the first hypothesis indicate the presence of an educational-environmental potentiality in the exhibitions of the natural history museum based on the socialization of ideas, concepts and representations of the environment through didactic innovations. The other hand, the findings in relation to the second hypothesis indicate that the emergence of an expository discourse of a socio-environmental nature may be limited by the permanence of elements typical of the nineteenth-century natural history museum model.
