Uses the Teixeira Coelho’s concept of Cultural Action and verbs "inform, discuss and create" proposed Luis Milanesi. Understands the museum space as an informational unit. The approach used was qualitative research through focus group interviews with participants and the project staff, confronting the concept of cultural actions with the of information access right and the museum. The founded results are the satisfaction of participants and staff regarding the activity developed.
