Abstract(s)
O sagrado é interdito, pelo que a sua exposição no espaço profano do museu parece ser contraditória. O cristianismo, porém, estabelece uma relação inédita no âmbito das religiões, ao restringir a interdição de forma que os objectos do culto, quando desafectos, se tornem execrados e possam assumir uma função museológica. A história da museologia portuguesa faz-se, em grande parte, a partir de iniciativas eclesiásticas e com recurso a objectos de arte sacra. Contudo, nos primeiros museus, o objecto de religião era apresentado como objecto de arte. Só mais tarde os museólogos tomaram consciência da importância de apresentar dados relativos à função, ao significado e ao símbolo. Neste sentido, a museografia actual procura estratégias que realcem o conteúdo sagrado do património religioso.

Correspondingly, contemporary museography designs strategies that enhance the content of the sacred in religious heritage.
