摘要：Introduction: The relationship between museums and information is highlighted worldwide since 1970, when meanings were added to museological objects that expanded their functions, such as the perception of their capacity to transmit varied information to the public. Thereafter, scientists linked to both the study of museums and research in information, began to develop investigations relating both areas of knowledge. Objective: Thus, the objective of this article is to understand the main research trends on museums and information in Brazil. Methodology: For this, a scientometric study was carried out from the congress proceedings of the National Research Meeting in Information Science from 2007 to 2019. A database composed of 180 scientific productions was generated and imported into the NVivo. The use of the program improved the analysis of the bank, enabling the construction of knowledge from the information collected. Results: Through the results, there was an upward trend in the number of publications related to the topic museums and information at the event in recent years. There was an inequality of productivity between the authors who study the topic, as few are responsible for most of the literature. It was also seen that the guidelines of greatest interest among researchers in this field are Museological Documentation and Virtual Museums. Conclusions: The article elucidates the possibilities of new research routes, which may assist in the development of incentive policies for the promotion of research that have not yet been done, but which need to be carried out when dealing with the topic of museums and information.
