[en] The concept of collection and the idea of collecting open some problematic challenges. In this contribution, we move from Mathilde Bellaigue's notions of institutional collection and operational collection, applied in the Creusot Ecomuseum, and subsequently spread among Brazilian ecomuseums and community museums, even beyond Brazil.
Breaking taboos and boundaries, we argue that there are not museums without collections, but museums that work with a broader notion of collection.
The contribution aims also to problematize the dispute around the new definition of museums. We argue that the focus should not be on the words that are used (such as collection or acquisition) but on their different meanings in different international contexts.
