Museografía para el uso social, turístico y puesta en valor de la identidad y cultura machaleña.

Abstract

The project to create a museum about the culture and identity of Machala seeks to provide a museum space that not only values local culture, but also attracts tourists by offering a unique experience. This museum will serve both academic purposes and to generate income for the community. It aims to educate about the history and identity of Machala, preserve its heritage and foster a sense of belonging and pride among local youth. The initiative is based on the need to preserve and spread local identity in a globalized world, where it is easy to lose traditions. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of involving young people in learning through dynamic experiences within the museum, which allow them to explore and question ideas. The project is based on the collection of accurate information, including surveys and interviews with the community and through these, understand the current state of the perception of the local community in relation to the representation and maintenance of its identity and culture, and the analysis and study of the problem and the information found in the surveys will make it possible to formulate a solution that contributes positively to the dissemination, care, representation and maintenance of the elements that represent the masculine identity.
