摘要

Access to museums and collections is unequal around the world, and this can impact educational development, since museum collections are in some cases teaching and learning tools. Among the most acute asymmetries in relation to access to museum collections are cases of communities where important research and collection work takes place, but which are far from the museums and research centers where the materials for safeguarding were destined. This article aims to discuss the use of traveling exhibitions as a tool to break down the geographic and financial barriers that keep communities located close to paleontological sites away from scientific collections. For this purpose, a traveling exhibition was created, consisting of rocks, minerals, fossils, archaeological artifacts, fossil replicas and explanatory banners, which are presented by project monitors. The exhibition covers the history of the planet, from the emergence of the solar system, to the last extinctions, the emergence of man and the use of natural resources. The actions were developed in the state of Mato Grosso, in Brazil. The exhibitions were attended by 2,851 students and 232 teachers. Given this impact, it is clear that traveling exhibitions in this format should be part of the initiative plan of large museums, along with other actions that can promote educational development and the training of researchers in regions where important material collections have already taken place. as a form of compensation for the social and economic development of communities, which in other times helped to form the collections of large museums.
