The National Pedagogical Museum, founded in 1882 was originally known as the Madrid Museum of Primary Instruction. It was created following a proposal from the Free Institution of Teaching as part of its pedagogical and political project to achieve modernization and social transformation in the country. The initiative sprang from the need to undertake the necessary reforms to improve the conditions of primary education, and took as its reference the international museum experience. The Museum, as conceived by its first director Manuel Bartolomé Cossío (1857-1935), was to be the gateway through which all advances in early education in other countries were introduced into Spain. Its main action lines were aimed at teacher training, renewing school furniture and teaching materials, and at becoming the most important centre for information, study, renewal and pedagogical dissemination in the country.
