Abstract

The objective of this study is to present the development process of a Practical Guide to Innovation in Brazilian Museums and an institutional self-assessment tool, discussing their contributions to information management in museums. The research adopts a qualitative, exploratory, and applied approach, based on a bibliographic review and documentary analysis of institutional websites of Brazilian museums. The study is grounded in theoretical frameworks from Information Science, Museology, and Innovation Studies, mobilizing concepts related to information systems, information flows, organizational learning, and knowledge sharing in the museum context. A total of 86 innovative actions were identified across 13 institutions and subsequently systematized through a controlled vocabulary, categories, analytical classes, characteristics, impacts, and levels of replicability. The results revealed the predominance of incremental innovation practices, mainly associated with process improvement and institutional repositioning, as well as a high potential for replication across different museum contexts. The systematization of this information enabled the development of the proposed products, aimed at the organization, sharing, and application of the knowledge produced. It is concluded that the instruments developed contribute to transforming dispersed experiences into structured informational resources, fostering organizational learning, decision-making, and the strengthening of information management within the museum context.
