Artigo - O Vestuário Litúrgico como Fonte Documental e Objeto Museológico do Museu Histórico de Londrina

Abstract

The article investigates liturgical clothing as a documentary and museological source in the xxx, highlighting its acquisition, preservation and resignification. Through a museological and historical approach, the process of musealization of the Catholic garments donated to the institution is analyzed, emphasizing their transformation from an object of ritual use to a historical document. The study presents the stages of this process, including research, conservation, documentation and exhibition, as well as the role of these garments in the construction of the city's collective memory. In addition, the analysis highlights the importance of clothing in the museological context, evidencing its communicative and symbolic potential. The current exhibition of the robes is examined in the light of collection policies and curatorial changes, which have broadened the representation of different religions and cultures. The study reinforces the relevance of clothing as an element of historical record and cultural heritage, contributing to the debate on the preservation of materiality in museums.
