BUTTO, Ana  e  FIORE, Danae. Patrimonialization processes in the anthropological/archaeological exhibitions at Museo del Fin del Mundo (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina). Runa [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.2, pp.43-62.  Epub 27-Ago-2021. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v42i2.7605.

In this paper we analyze the artifacts produced by the Indigenous peoples and displayed in the anthropological/archaeological exhibition of the Museo del Fin del Mundo, located in the city of Ushuaia (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina), in order to study their heritage process as museum objects. To this end, the anthropological and archaeological exhibits of the museum are presented and analyzed systematically, including: a) the exhibited artifacts (archeological, ethnographic and contemporary) and b) the written and visual information associated with these artifacts. We thus address part of the formation processes of the exhibited collections, focusing the discussion on the object-selection choices and on their transformation into heritage and museum items. Thus, the contents, discourse and imaginary matters transmitted by the museum about the cultural heritage of the native Fuegian peoples are investigated and discussed.
