Diseño de un plan de museología educativa para las salas de exposición permanentes para el museo nacional del Ecuador.

Abstract

Abstract: This research paper presents a design for an educational museology plan for the permanent exhibition halls of the National Museum of Ecuador (MuNa). It addresses the history of the museum from its origins until it became the MuNa, where the figure of Hernán Crespo Toral stands out for his work in favor of the preservation of heritage. The study addresses a proposal based on the constructivist educational model, whose focus seeks to empower the visitor in their learning process. Therefore, the plan includes cultural mediation strategies, reconfiguration of exhibition spaces, community outreach programs, and ongoing training. The proposals are developed for the four halls: Native Societies, Colonial Art, 19th Century and Republic Landscape, and Modern Art. Each proposal includes educational objectives, interactive activities, implementation schedules, and matrices. Finally, the paper concludes with recommendations to improve the visitor experience and with surveys to measure visitor satisfaction and their experience in the museum.
