Resumo
O Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins está situado num campus de 40.000m2, tombado pelo patrimônio histórico federal (IPHAN) e estadual (INEPAC). Realiza anualmente um programa de exposições temporárias e utiliza, para sua montagem, o espaço do salão nobre do prédio sede e seus corredores de acesso. Neste trabalho, é apresentado o projeto da exposição temporária “Luiz Cruls: um cientista a serviço do Brasil”, montada em 2004 e remontada em 2008, onde são destacados os aspectos relacionados à conservação de documentos em suporte papel e de instrumentos científicos, expostos na mostra, e discutida a forma de ocupação do espaço, com vistas a não comprometer os aspectos característicos do estilo eclético ali presentes. Foi desenvolvido o projeto de uma vitrina especial para exposição dos documentos e realizadas intervenções no espaço, de forma a minimizar a quantidade de luz e radiação ultravioleta presentes no local. O projeto da exposição, além de respeitar a arquitetura do espaço de montagem, levou em consideração outros aspectos importantes como o tema proposto, o período
histórico relacionado, a tipologia dos documentos apresentados e a necessidade de despertar questionamentos no público sobre o assunto.

HERITAGE, CONSERVATION AND COMMUNICATION: Influence of the architecture of a listed building and the conservation of the heritage exhibited on the conception and design of a temporary exhibition at MAST
ABSTRACT
Museu de Astronomia e Ciências Afins (MAST) is located in the Imperial district of São Cristóvão, Rio de Janeiro, in 40,000m2 of grounds. Its buildings are listed by the federal and state historical heritage agencies (IPHAN and INEPAC, respectively). Each year, it puts on a series of short exhibitions in the main hall and the corridors leading to it. In this study, the project for a temporary exhibition entitled “Luiz Cruls: a scientist at the service of Brazil”, first exhibited in 2004 and now again in 2008, is discussed. The paper highlights issues concerning the conservation of the paper documents and scientific instruments from the exhibition, as well as discussing how the museum space is occupied so as not to compromise any features of its eclectic style. A special display case was designed to exhibit the documents, and certain measures were taken to minimize the amount of light and ultraviolet radiation that could enter the exhibition space. While taking the architecture of the display area into account, the project for the exhibition also encompasses other important issues, such as the fact that it is a touring exhibition, the topic it covers, the historical period in question, the kinds of documents included and the need to kindle the interest of the public about the subject.
