University museums and collections in Mexico

Through five questions that connect the university heritage and the museums, the author points out the convenience of thinking the university museums as spaces of interaction. This patrimonial perspective can increase the social values of the museums and the universities as well. To achieve this goal, it is important to generate interaudiences interested in the appreciation and protection of the musealized heritage and to assume the glocal dimension. These new paradigms can help to consolidate a university museology.
