Abstract
This is a summary of a research project entitled “Urban Symbols, Patrimony and Cultural Consumption”, executed in the city of Leon, Mexico, by a team from the Department of Social Studies of the University of Guanajuato. One of the principal goals of the project is the discovery and the description of social and institutional discourse that are created about the cultural patrimony of the city of Leon, focusing on the cases of certain museums and galleries, where the public who visit them reconstruct models for the perception of urban reality and rehearse new social and imaginary positions.
