The permanent exhibition

Five centuries of education: reading, writing, counting or learning the basics.

The exhibition centre provides a journey enlightening five centuries of education history, from the Old Regime small schools era to state education. Elementary education practices and methods revolve along the same theme: the very place where learning takes place, i.e. the classroom, its equipment, its actors and its teaching organisation.
