The pedagogical museums emerged in the middle of the 19th century accompanying teachers' training and the construction of the national education systems. They were centers which comprise a library with education works, legislation, and other kinds of documents, as well as school furniture and collections of teaching materials. They fostered the circulation of school ideas, practices, and materials. They had a prospective and instituting character as regards new methodologies, tooling, school policy and structure, and the express intention of building a national identity. In Argentina, the initiative to create a pedagogical museum within the scope of the National Education Council, the National School Museum, attached to the library and aimed at primary education, was understood as an engine for the political-pedagogical and material renewal of education. The museum was one of the state mechanisms in the education system to gradually take society to a level of “civilization”.
