The Virtual Museum
 
           THE idea of doing a virtual museum come from the real difficulty to have a place to expose the more than 5.000 items of a collection already existent of pieces collected in the municipal district. Due to that amount of objects, that is increasing  with the time, the initial rescue needs joined to the physical need of place,  but with the precocious and unexpected death in the middle of 1999 of a great friend of the museum, Cézar Bittencourt, alderman and secretary of tourism of Maricá, person that was the part of the contacts with the Ntional Museum of Quinta da Boa Vista and was involved in selecting a place for ours, the choice of a physical place was parked. For not depriving for the wait the "maricaense" people or others interested, of all the information now here described and cultured, we opted then to do that virtual version of the museum, that intends to review all the possible information that concern the municipal district,   that  beginning would be a display on the history and the prehistory of Maricá, mix to  other areas for better understanding of those two proposals initials.
               Being here the intention of enrolling with images the maximum of information, and due to conscience that the principal interesteds  would be the own maricaenses, we took into account the difficulty of phone connection of the municipal district and we set up a virtual museum of easy download, without applications of slow download for faster and easy access to informations. 
           After the basic pages of the site be already thrown, we intended to incorporate automatic translators in other languages, as well as in the future we also intended to take advantage of for the making of pages, the best works with students' of the schools of the area supporting bases that involve referring subjects to our municipal district, so that in the end or some day that virtual museum becomes the close possible of being one of the best sources of consultation of referring subjects to Maricá.

 
 
 
Future Museum of Maricá
 
          The creation of a museum, is not a shop window of personal interests, but the consolidation of a cultural patrimony of national interest, because there is an almost total absence of registrations pré - historical of Maricá.  Even the historical registrations already existent, they need of supporting material that subsidizes the history  
           THE work of shows  of a museum involves an entire structure that is going from the discovery of the material, all the cares that involve the collection of that, all the preparations so that it can be exposed, until the final objective, that is to prove of some theory or that some fact really happened.
      Maricá deserves to have conditions and has materials collected that can insert the municipal district in the cultural map of the country. Identification of areas of interest historical, prehistoric, ecological and geological already exists.
           The creation of the museum, can allow that archaeological areas, in a conscious way and guided, be visited openly hereafter. The risings arqueológicos  wake up the interest of other sciences , guaranteeing to the municipal district larger opportunities of studies, popularization and scientific interests. 
          It is necessary that valued the public budgets through recognition and investments of national interest. The creation of a museum of natural history, is the creation of an subsidize for education, culture and science. A museum it is also a tourist mark - cultural unanswerable.
         Register, support and to subsidize the science is not a fact of moment, is the eternalize of facts. 

 
 
 
Collection
 
          THE material here exposed (ceramic potsherds, glass, dish, indigenous utensils, shell and lithic workmanships, historical and prehistoric objects, etc.) come from about 35 different areas from historic,  geological or biological interest of Maricá,  some of them due to science informs, cannot still be published. 
            THE Museum of História Natural da UFRJ (Museum da Quinta da Boa Vista), was already in contact several times with the material, establishing an area of archaeological site registered in SPHAN  (Service of National Historical Research) already photographed, but maintained in general all the areas in secret inform. There is interests on the Museu Nacional  in researching several other areas.
            THE collection was set up little by little, nothing being destroyed or dug for the collection of the materials, and consists in the result of a search, initiate several years ago, seeking to save what was exposed or released at the mercy of external factors that could destroy those remains of the history of the city.
