The history of Zimbabwe's museums and monuments begins with the coming of British settlers to the colony of Rhodesia in 1890. By 1902 Rhodesia had one fully functional museum called the Rhodesia Museum. This museum concentrated on geology and natural history, two areas that the new colonists were anxious to explore and exploit in order to build up the country's young economy. In 1936 the Rhodesia Museum was nationalised and in the next twenty years two more museums were added to the National Museums of Southern Rhodesia organisation. Although the museums emphasised their objectivity as research and educational centres they also followed government policies that promoted white colonial culture over that of the indigenous black population. This suppression of the African heritage was more marked in the settlers' attitudes towards the country's monuments. At Great Zimbabwe and Matopos, both traditionally significant for local blacks, the white colonists supported interpretations that justified their rale over the African and rejected any involvement of the black tribes in the history of these two monuments. During the 1950s the museums and monuments conformed to the white administration's agenda and took an increasingly biased stand against the Africans, who had started to demand a greater say in the government of Rhodesia. By the time civil war broke out between black and white Rhodesians in 1966, these cultural organisations had become political tools for the colonial cause. This made their situation difficult when after fourteen years the black nationalists won the right to rule Zimbabwe. However, because of their unique ability to mirror the political, social and economic circumstances of the country the museums and monuments remain important contributors to Zimbabwe's cultural history and heritage.

Nessa ocasião, o Museu Paraense ocupava um lugar de destaque no cenário científico brasileiro em razão da intensa produção científica que aí se verificou. Na tese são analisadas as mudanças políticas que posicionaram o Museu Paraense, após o golpe republicano de 1889, como uma das instituições estaduais prioritárias em termos de aplicação de recursos financeiros e como importante símbolo para a identidade das elites locais. A construção do museu após essa re-qualificação é estudada a partir do perfil estipulado para a instituição, do espaço construído, da equipe contratada, da agenda científica e das relações políticas locais, expressas por meio do aporte de recursos e da receptividade do diretor do museu às demandas estatais. Os resultados atestam que a proclamação da República e o conseqüente sistema federalista implantado no Brasil são marcos fundamentais para a história do Museu Paraense, uma vez que permitiram à instituição se especializar nos estudos sobre a região amazônica, que já se configurava, na segunda metade do século XIX, como fronteira econômica. / The goal of the thesis is to reflect upon the institutional construction of the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (Emílio Goeldi Museum of Pará) between the decade of 1860, when it was created, and the end of turn of the Swiss zoologist Emilio Goeldi (1859-1917) as its director, in 1907. At this time, the Museu Paraense occupied a place of prominence on the Brazilian scientific scene, due to the intense scientific production that was instantiated there. In the thesis, we analyzed the political changes that placed the Museu Paraense, after the republican blow of 1889, as one of the priority state institutions in terms of application of financial resources and as important symbol for the identity of the local elites. The construction of the museum after this re-qualification is studied based on the profile stipulated for the institution, the built space, the hired staff, the scientific agenda and the relations with the local politicians, which are expressed by the allocation of resources and the willingness of the museum director to attend the state demands. The results attest that the establishment of the Republic and the consequent federalist system enforced in Brazil are essential landmarks for the history of the Museu Paraense, for they have permitted the institution to specialize in the studies on the Amazonian economic frontier.
