Abstract History museums, understood as cultural devices, acts as spaces that configure and offer certain stories about the past. By means of the staging, museographic displays unveil the way history, heritage and historic memory are understood. This paper reviews the discourses on the local history in History Museum “Fuerte Independencia,” located in the city of Tandil, south-center of the Buenos Aires province. The analysis allows to elucidate, on the one hand, how the “indigenous” is constructed around the universe of senses that intend to outline the local past and the “Tandilian identity” and, on the other hand, how discourses on the alterity of indigenous communities are materialized in the museographic proposal. Thus, in displaying it as the alterity, “the indigenous” is confined into a concluded and finished-up segment of the local history.

Palavras-chave : History museums; Museography; Discourse formulations; Alterity; Indigenous communities.
