The National Pedagogical Museum - Pedagogium was founded in 1890 and operated until 1919, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Established by Decree nº 981, the role of the institution was to offer the public and teachers the means of professional instruction, the exhibition of the best methods and innovative teaching material, providing different types of training. We know a part of its history as a teacher training center, however, in addition, the history of pedagogical museums is closely linked to the World’s Fairs, since they would be centers for the diffusion of educational technologies; frequently, pedagogical museums could be formed from what was presented in exhibitions. This publication aims to present various facets between the Pedagogium and its relations with world’s fairs, commercials and museums, as well as to understand and analyze the constitution of the Pedagogium collection, taking into account its affinities with commerce and industry.

Keywords : Pedagogium; Museums; Universal exhibitions; School supplies culture.
