The purpose of this research is to investigate the process of transformations undergone in contemporary society in regard to the recognition of cultural diversity and plurality amongst institutions that house popular culture collections. Through the historic trajectory of the collections of the Folklore Research Mission of 1938, conceived by Mário de Andrade, and of the Folklore Museum, established by Rossini Tavares de Lima, both belonging to the municipality of São Paulo, the replacement of the use of the concept of folklore for that of popular culture (or popular cultures) as well as alterations in the field of Museology were examined. For this purpose, the experiences that served as guidelines for the Brazilian theorization in this field were analyzed, specifically the work of Georges Henri Rivière, the trajectory of the National Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions in Paris and the idea of social museology. The conclusion of this study ascertains that there is an ambiguity between the treatment of the collections and the contemporary discourse in which cultural diversity is recognized and celebrated, even in specific public policies. This research confirms the hypothesis that, despite the establishment of new institutions, such as the Pavilion of Brazilian Cultures, the process of valuing popular culture in places that house collections is characterized more by an appropriation and an alignment of discourse rather than by an effective rupture of boundaries or a reorganization of the field of work
