Scientific dissemination and education: the biogeography in science museums

This work aims to recognize the Museums of science as a major impetus with regard to scientific dissemination, a social role that is indispensable for the dissemination of knowledge that is produced within the academy. That said, this study was concerned to undertake a concise historical reconstruction of biogeographic thought, highlighting the importance of science museums as a complementary bibliography for studies and lessons fields. Thus, we exemplify with Museu de Historia Natural e Jardim Botanico da UFMG (MHNJB/UFMG), Museu de Ciencias Naturais da Pontificia Universidade Catolica (MCN/PUC-MG) and Espaco do Conhecimento UFMG (ECU) as important spaces for Science dissemination. Finally, we propose that museums are used as places of work camps, whether by schools or colleges, not only encouraging research by students, but also encouraging them to get to know new cultural spaces..
