Abstract
Description
This article analyses boredom in museographic environments. From an ethnographic perspective, a difference is made between the monotony that affected the employees of the institution from the misbehaviour of not few bored souls. One aim is to rethink the importance of boredom for the human being, specially in matters of introspection and understanding. A corolary of this article is to remember that an uninteresting and static working environment evidences museographic failure; the contemplative and muted pace of the visitors does not.
