Abstract


This work analyses the process through which the Mexican National Museum —originally embracing all branches of knowledge— reached both institutional maturity and highest social significance in the form of an Anthropological Museum. This case study shows how necessary it is to critically reformulate the current presuppositions and theories dealing with the origin and institutionalization of Anthropology as a discipline.
