Abstract

The Musée National de Burkina Faso - MNB (National Museum of Burkina Faso) was one of the first museums founded in West Africa in the wake of regional independence movements. Having long borne the consequences of geographical and institutional nomadism, the museum is now built on an area of 29 hectares in the heart of Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou. Although today its storage rooms seem to meet standards for the conservation of collections, further efforts need to be made. This case study develops a historical approach to understanding the evolution of the National Museum and its collections, particularly through the lens of storage management. It leads to new perspectives around the museum, particularly with regard to the inclusion of Living Human Treasures to its programmes. In addition, in a national context marked by multiple terrorist attacks that have led to the destruction of heritage, the role of the National Museum in the conservation of movable heritage from other museums deserves to be questioned.

摘要

布基纳法索国家博物馆 - MNB（布基纳法索国家博物馆）是西非地区独立运动后最早建立的博物馆之一。该博物馆长期以来一直承受着地理和制度游牧主义的影响，现在建在布基纳法索首都瓦加杜古的中心地带，占地 29 公顷。虽然今天它的储藏室似乎符合收藏品保护的标准，但还需要进一步努力。本案例研究开发了一种历史方法来理解国家博物馆及其藏品的演变，特别是通过存储管理的视角。它为博物馆带来了新的视角，特别是在将“活的人类宝藏”纳入其计划方面。此外，
