The present research had as objective to map the museums in Curitiba/PR, as well as to investigate their acting in official sites and in the social media Facebook and Instagram. The study is of qualitative nature, in which we used the Documental Analysis as a methodology. The data was constituted through the Guia dos Museus Brasileiros from the Instituto Brasileiro de Museus and from the site of the Fundação Cultural de Curitiba. The results pointed that the museums from Curitiba, in general, are open, they are public administered and they have diverse profiles in relation to the year of foundation and tipology. In the Internet, half of the museums do not have any activity and only 13% of the spaces have an effective acting in the social media. About the mapping, we noticed that all museums reside in the northern area of the city, existing an agglomerate in the central region, where the economic and historical center are located. We concluded that the museums in Curitiba, mostly, do not promote social inclusion through the cultural inclusion, because of the scarcity of informations about themselves in the Internet and because of the physic separation with the most part of the population.
