Los museos se han asociado, tradicionalmente, con espacios de conservación y salvaguarda de objetos y relatos sobre el pasado, de allí su vínculo con el concepto de memoria. En este panorama, este artículo cuestiona las definiciones tradicionales de los museos y su relación con la memoria, considerando que dentro de los espacios museales se juegan posturas políticas que son útiles para la instauración de un relato homogéneo y estable sobre el pasado, desde el cual se pretende mantener, entre otras estructuras sociales, los modelos coloniales de dominación cultural. En ese sentido, se propone revisar el concepto de memoria en relación con la tradición crítica y su potencialidad en la construcción de espacios que produzcan lazos colectivos más allá de las versiones nacionalistas y/o coloniales. Os museus têm sido tradicionalmente associados a espaços de conservação e preservação de objetos e narrativas sobre o passado, daí sua ligação com o conceito de memória.
