Exitus [online]. 2021, vol.11, e020132.  Epub May 10, 2022. ISSN 2237-9460.  https://doi.org/10.24065/2237-9460.2021v11n1id1536.

This article aims to map and analyze changes in museum definitions in Brazil and how they relate to museum education from the analysis of Brazilian scientific production. This is a qualitative bibliographic research. The data was constituted from the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Catalog from 1987 to 2017 in ten-year intervals and explored through Content Analysis. The results show that museum definitions have changed over time giving more value to educational practices. However, more than half of the studies do not show a direct definition of a museum. The lack of conceptual clarity about museum education can contribute to less critical pedagogical trends compromising the educational potential of these institutions.

Keywords : Museum education; Museum practices; Museum educational actions.
