The Center’s research line unfolds into two main fronts: the study of institutional memory and the critical analysis of the collection under its care. Based on documents, museological records, archival materials, and publications, research initiatives seek to understand the Museum’s trajectory, its curatorial, educational, and scientific processes, as well as the social and cultural contexts in which it operates.

Research is not limited to historical recovery; it also problematizes the very constitution of the collection—its criteria of formation, organization, and gaps—recognizing it as a social construct and a field of symbolic disputes. In this way, the Center contributes to the consolidation of a reflective institutional memory in continuous dialogue with the present.
