Abstract
Describing museum audience with those over 60 and more in museums focusing on the cultural, motivational, emotional and sociodemographic characteristics after application of questionnaires. We seek to develop better strategies and exploring impacts to benefit senior population in age friendly spaces in Brazil. Instruments were developed after a scoping review with international literature to choose the variables and create a research instrument to innovate the understanding of elderly and museum approaches. The research as qualitative-quantitative approach with data collected in museums from different urban environments in São Paulo’s State and others (n=24 museums with different typologies, administrations and collections: audience n> 1400 older people). The scoping review supplied information to define the research variables and inclusion and exclusion profiles of the survey. The research is expected to provide data on visitation or participation of activities in/with museums. Data becomes eminent nowadays with longevity but also with rapid and intense process of aging in city environments. According to data around 29 million Brazilians are 60 years old or more (14,3% of the total population), and the projections indicate that in 2030, older people will exceed the children and adolescents from 0 to 14 years old in 2.28 million. By 2050, the population 60+ will represent about 30% of population (IBGE, 2015). Support innovative attitudes age friendly in a country that has a prevalence focus in scholar audience with gap and demand for implementation of socio-cultural activities for the well-being and active aging for inclusion of people 60 +.
