Resumo: The Quinta Normal Heritage Circuit (Santiago de Chile), located around the park of the same name, is simultaneously a space highly institutionalized and a popular place of encounter. In this space, coexist several museums and cultural centers with an intense program, with events, encounters and cultural manifestation of immaterial kind: spontaneous and festive. In a social segmented city like Santiago this mix of activity is less frequent, that is the reason this analysis contributes with important information on the population perception of the diverse heritage elements. This proposal is focused on inquire the value of the different elements of the immaterial heritage of the area comparing the vision of the institutional agents (through documental analysis and interviews) and the residents (obtained from participant observation and surveys). The results show a clear dichotomy: the institutions tend to concentrate all the attention meanwhile the immaterial heritage tend to go unnoticed, losing a relevant part of the potential that the combination of heritage institutions, the park and the spontaneous popular manifestations can have.
