> ABSTRACT
> Basically, what is a museum of school or education ? Is it just a simple
> historical classroom ? Or an open history book? Or an ethnographic museum?
> Or is it a community museum related to current affairs? Who is this museum
> made for? The institutions of museums' collections, exhibitions and
> ambition differ from the budget, staff, material and different types of
> support. Besides one must take into consideration their public or private
> status and their historical past belonging to a period from 1850 to 1914,
> when pedagogical museums were created in order to share new teaching aids
> considered as a part of the establishment of compulsory school.
> This PhD research deals with twenty nine museums of school and education,
> located in twenty European countries and they are selected according to
> their cultural and scientific fame. A comparative and analytic research
> was led thanks three means: first visits of museums from 2005 to December
> 2007, then a general questionnaire and finally documents; everything
> aiming to an analysis of collections and museographies presented by these
> museums. This analysis enables to determine the amount and the features of
> school and education heritage, but it also brings to the fore the
> enrichment policies, the management, the documentary processing and the
> enhanced value of collections. Beyond the description, collections and
> museographies show the missions settled by museums, particularly towards
> their public. They report the state of the society, so are its choices and
> its questioning concerning the past, the present and the future, aroused
> by teaching and well beyond, by education.
