With the objective of celebrating 90 years of instruction in Museology in Brazil, the
article presents, with emphasis on the context of the Amazon of Pará, formative paths that
contributed to the field of Museology studies in the country, starting in the 19th century. It traces
this trajectory through discursivities and practices that constitute an ideal of a museum and its
importance, wrapped in teaching and research actions, still in the 19th century Brazilian society.
It goes on to visit the some landmarks that would, at the end of the first decade of the 21st
century, result in the creation of the first course of Bachelor's Degree in Museology in the North
of the country, linked to the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), amid the expansion of
Brazilian higher education institutions and the insertion of a national policy to value culture and
heritage. It concludes by demonstrating current paths taken by the Museology degree in the
region.
