Abstract
School visits are a significant part of museums’ history. To explore this theme, this article adopts a methodological approach that considers three levels of analysis: the museum, the educational actions, and the teaching applications. It applies the framework to the Republican Museum "Convention of Itu", located in the city of Itu, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, mobilizing its foundation’s history and the school visits between 1987 and 2017. The documentary corpus is comprised by semi-structured interviews and the museum's institutional archive (including letters requesting school visits among other documents). The aim is twofold: to advance research on the intersection between (history) teachers and (history) museums and to stimulate and broaden the perspective on teaching practices.
