The essay traces the reasons and the contexts in wich the exhibit “Between Home and School. Traces of Education” was held in 2010 at the University of Bologna, thanks to research “Ideas and Models of a Museum of Education” of the Department of Education. In retracing the delovpment of the exhibit the essay outlines the historiographical and pedagogical reasons for the possibility of a Museum of Education and/or School in Bologna, in the context of analogous Italian and European experiences and as a instrument for a wider education for citizenship.
