History

Its origins lie in “The National Educational Museum” established in 1882 by the Ministry of Development and closed by the Franco Regime in 1939. The current Museum of the Faculty of Education, organized and conducted by its Department of Theory and History, begins with the exhibition held in 1985 and inaugurated by the former Rector, Dr. Villapalos.

Several exhibitions have been held since then, all of which have been  monographic and  taken place at The Faculty of Education approximately twice a year. The museum is an institutional member of the "Spanish Society for the Study of  Historical & Educational Heritage" with which it actively collaborates on its publications and scientific conferences.

Julio Ruiz Berrio has been Director of the Museum since 1991, when he was appointed by the Faculty Board. He is supported by Dra. Teresa Rabazas (first collaborator) and Dr. Sarah Ramos (secretary). They also have an intern assistant for specific tasks.
