Since the beginning of the 20th century, a wide and diversified museum movement has developed in most Western countries, including the so-called National Pedagogical Museums. At first they were conceived as meeting, cataloguing and documentation centers, but also, as time went on, as centers for teacher training and dissemination of school legislative information and, in no small measure, didactic and display of furniture, technical resources, bibliographic and other issues related to formal education. In this way they aspired, in the words of their patrons, to become inspiring spaces for educational innovation.
