Museos, territorio y patrimonio in situ: trabajo de campo en el Centro de Visitantes Schuk Toak y el Ecomuseo Tehuelibampo, Sonora

This study highlights the limited application and theorization of open-air museums, ecomuseums, and interpretive centers in Mexico, proposing their analysis as a means to advance museological practices. Focusing on two projects within the El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve—Schuk Toak Visitor Center and Tehuelibampo Ecomuseum—the research examines how these institutions interact with territory and in situ heritage. Preliminary findings suggest that such museological approaches can effectively bridge cultural interpretation, conservation, and territorial engagement, offering a model for similar initiatives in Mexico.
