Abstract

The museums are spaces that are in charge of preserving the heritage and telling the history of a nation, in order to know its origin. Know where it comes from? To know who formed a past? What does your culture carry your being and know what your current present is? And it depends on this content and your own interest to shape a future without losing these values that have been instilled in the course of your life and for your future generations. The current Ethnographic Museum of the Ecuadorian House of Culture is made up of elements that are still used and are of daily and festive use in some cultures of the various peoples and nationalities that inhabit Ecuador, the latter belonging to the Pío Jaramillo ethnographic collection Alvarado, which was made up of clothing from some towns in the country, currently located at the National Ethnography Hall, in 2014 began to develop a new exhibition plan, to which mannequins with clothing from indigenous and peasant communities joined, which were donated by the provincial nuclei of the CCE. Museums are spaces that contain items of immeasurable value, both economic and cultural that are shown to society, these sites have currently been helped by technological and audiovisual resources, allowing information to be faster and more accurate to the visitor. The Ethnographic Museum of the House of Culture has allowed itself the task of exposing this wide intercultural diversity that inhabits the entire Ecuadorian territory, showing our culture to every spectator, national or foreigner who is able to visit it.
