Abstract

This dissertation was written as part of the Social History Post-Graduate Program at Universidade de São Paulo (USP), as well as of the Material Culture History Research Program of the Museu Paulista/USP, in the research line: History of Museums and Exhibitions. Its object refers to the establishment of the Museu Republicano Convenção de Itu, which is a branch of the Museu Paulista in the interior of São Paulo State (the first museum in the country dedicated to the Republic), and an emblematic project developed by some of the \"historical republicans\", the ones who were at the head of the Brazilian government in the First Republic. Its chronological scope ranges from the moment before the museum opening in 1923 until the end of the management of Affonso de Taunay, its first Director, in 1946. History museums have been the object of reflections by many authors from different perspectives. The contribution that we hope we may offer to such topic is developed not from the perspective of Political History, but is based on Material Culture and Museology, i.e., on the investigation of the museum´s collection and exhibition.
