Guided Tour
In the Education Museum you can find books and toys, photos and notebooks, teaching aids and school furniture, registers and report cards, degree diplomas and papyrus, inks and nibs not simply collected but scientifically selected to document how, from the nineteenth century to today , the young generations have been “educated” from birth to entry into adult life.
The Museum – formally established in 1993 as an expression of the specific, centuries-old vocation of the University of Padua for historical and educational studies – today boasts one of the richest heritages in Europe and preserves some unique pieces dating back to the nineteenth century, such as calligraphy by the master Vincenzo Sproviero or the device for blending colors by Ida Pilotto Sottini, and others from the early twentieth century such as the model of a roller coaster or the large theater for real puppet shows.
The Museum also preserves a large number of manuscript sources (notebooks, certificates, diaries, etc.), iconographic sources (photographs, wall plates, slides, etc.) and printed sources (books, magazines) from which Italian and foreign scholars have drawn and draw. .
It therefore carries out a triple function: it responds to the scientific needs of those who intend to delve deeper into the history of the educational system within their respective fields of research; it is proposed as a teaching laboratory for teachers in training and in service; it opens up to the territory – especially to schools – with various educational activities.
