Modelo de proyecto y desarrollo museográfico de una exposición didáctica permanente de biología y geología en un centro público de E.S.O y Bachillerato: un gabinete de curiosidades escolar

Abstract

Evaluation of school collections as a didactic resource and the possibility of establishing them as a permanent exhibition in the school. We describe the museum adaptation project of a specific room in a public school of compulsory secondary education and baccalaureate (IES Miguel Delibes in Madrid) as an academic ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’, for the permanent exhibition of the Biology and Geology specimen collections. We expose the origin and development of the Project and the collections. We emphasize that in this exhibition, apart from observing, all exposed specimens can be touched, as their purpose is to be handled and studied by all alumni and visitors.
