MOGARRO, Maria João. The Municipal Educational Museum of Lisbon (Portugal, 1883-1933): Journey and meaning of a renewing institution. Cad. Hist. Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.21, e103.  Epub Sep 13, 2022. ISSN 1982-7806.  https://doi.org/10.14393/che-v21-2022-103.

The Museu Pedagógico Municipal de Lisboa [Municipal Educational Museum of Lisbon] was inaugurated on 1 July, 1883, as part of an international affirming movement of similar institutions. Adolfo Coelho directed the Museum and played a key role in its organization; he designed its structure and selected and purchased its materials and books. As of 1892, the Museu Pedagógico Municipal de Lisboa, renamed the Museu Pedagógico de Lisboa [Educational Museum of Lisbon] clearly illustrated the educational conceptions and orientations for a renewal of education that marked the pedagogical discourse of the time. It was part of the international modern education trend, which considered educational museums as fundamental mechanisms for the study of education and teaching and for the professional training of teachers. The reconstitution of its library confirms the Museum's place in the transnational network of idea circulation, containing works by renowned educational authors around the world and published in several languages.

Keywords : Educational museum; Circulation of education models; School culture.
