the analysis of the social function of the Museum of Art of Rio - MAR, located in Rio de Janeiro, through
the Project Encontro de Saberes, considering three schools, being a private school, Colégio Eduardo
Guimarães and two public schools, Municipal School Nicolau Antônio Taunay and Maurício de Medeiros
Municipal Special School, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. To make the records, notes were used in
the field notebook, reports from educators, teachers and students about the project, films, photographs
