Morán00aEthnographic heritage conservation through musealization  a135-1470 v20133 aThe conservation of ethnographic heritage is closely linked to the musealization process that is taking place in the world for several decades. The ethnographic heritage, before qualified as old and considered as useless, currently it is called ancient, it is preserved, collected and revalued to become a museum piece. The ethnographic heritage is the best and the most perfect conjunction between tangible and intangible heritage and thus the interest of ethnographic museums must not reside only in the preservation, collection, exhibition and projection of the object (its materialistic character, merely) but also on the non-object (immaterial parts and ideas that contextualize the assets) and the subjects (referring to the community). At the same time, museums must guard the ethnographic heritage taking into account the environmental conditions for its optimal conservation.  a19898568 (ISSN)
