Abstract

El presente trabajo constituye una de las pocas investigaciones realizadas sobre los museos de la ciudad de Cuenca, pese a ser instituciones que preservan bienes patrimoniales y son atractivos turísticos. Por ello, se ha emprendido un programa de investigación de inicia con el estudio de la percepción de los visitantes locales, nacionales y extranjeros en seis museos de la ciudad de Cuenca. Las percepciones expresadas mediante comentarios escritos espontáneamente por los visitantes ecuatorianos y extranjeros (de 91 nacionalidades) en el libro de visita de los museos, durante el año 2016, constituyen el insumo fundamental de información. Desde una perspectiva cualitativa, recurriendo al análisis de contenidos, se examinan las impresiones consignadas por los visitantes. El estudio muestra que el patrimonio es percibido como herencia, se asocia con memoria y ante todo se valora su conservación en la medida que garantiza la continuidad de la muestra y con ella la posibilidad de guardar su contenido para la posteridad. Se advierte una tendencia romántica que subyace en los comentarios: el museo espacio donde l pasado a través de la muestra perdura de forma inmutable.
