Resumo
The present study proposes a reflection about the transformation process of houses that belonged to representative residents into museum spaces, as well as the relations established with the society and its surroundings. A space considered as a holder of socio- cultural memory represents the daily life and customs of a society during an era and it is able to expose beyond the material legacy of someone or some family. The representation of the daily life and customs of the residents and its interpretive programs promote a cultural understanding with the local community and visitors. The house is often seen as a connection of architectural legacy with memory, identity, and social representation (Bourdieu, 1989). Thus, the conversion of use is very interesting and attractive, but some difficulties are encountered, such as the adaptation of the program of needs accessibility, legibility and imageability (Lynch, 1960, p.10). The transformation of a space previously designed to be private and intimate considers conceptual issues of tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Therefore, the fundamental principle of the museum-house is the treatment given to a private place that was not designed for exhibitions, but its collection is what fosters this event. Therefore, these are spaces created from the inside out, from the inner to the outer part, respecting the symbolic singularity of each collection and sometimes resulting in inviting solutions for new experiences depending on the methodology of the approach used in the mediation process. Thenceforth, it is possible to understand the ambiences perceived and realized by the individual and their experience of the space
