In the current museum panoramic in Spain, school museums installed on university headquarters are achieving an increasingly important presence. In different parts of Spain (Albacete, Galicia, Cantabria, etc.) there are education-related museums with different names such as School Museum, Children's Museum, etc. There are also other types of museums which can be personal or private (toy museum); or museums installed in both private and public schools. With respect to the museums installed in universities, it is necessary to highlight the ones placed in Murcia, La Laguna, Seville, Salamanca, Huelva, etc. Some of them have a remarkable presence on the Internet, working as virtual museums. To this line opened by other universities, it has to be joined the recent launch of a Museum of Education of the Basque Country-“Euskal Hezkuntzaren Museoa”, in the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). The creation of this museum is preceded by the existence of a Documentation Centre on the History of Education in the Basque Country, promoted by the group of Historical Studies and Comparative Education, whose members are the authors of this contribution (http://www.ehu.es/euskal-hezkuntza) . This museum is being structured around a series of topics to help us understand, explain and transmit the differential characteristics of education in the Basque Country. In this sense, some rooms are being planned with material relating to: “ikastolas” (schools providing teaching exclusively in Basque), educational renewal, rural schools, etc.; as well as all the classic elements of a school museum. This paper is the result of a research project financed by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Education, project number EDU-2010-15218. The authors are members of the Group for Historical and Comparative Studies in Education – Garaian, recognized by the Basque Government, registry number IT 603/13 and of the Unity of Education and Research “Education, Culture and Society (UFI 11/54)” of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU.
