The word “museification” has been used in the reflections of various disciplinary fields. It is a concept that has been little discussed and lacks epistemological clarity. Thus, this article presents a conceptual approach dedicated to understanding the process of museification, seeking a basis to formulate its definition and to enable territorial analysis. This was a qualitative research, with a case study in which eight processes of museification, identified in the conceptual foundation, are used in the analysis of the Caravaggio Circuit (Santa Teresa, ES, Brazil). The result demonstrates the true link between the museification of the territory and the cultural itineraries.
A palavra “museificação” tem sido utilizada em reflexões de diversos campos disciplinares. Trata-se de concepção ainda pouco discutida, carente de clareza epistemológica. Assim, este artigo apresenta uma abordagem conceitual dedicada ao entendimento do processo de museificação, buscando embasamento para formular sua definição e viabilizar análises territoriais. Configura-se como pesquisa qualitativa, com estudo de caso no qual oito processos próprios da museificação, identificados na fundamentação conceitual, são usados na análise do Circuito Caravaggio (Santa Teresa, ES, Brasil). O resultado demonstra a vinculação real entre a museificação do território e os roteiros culturais.
