The interactive map of the school and education Museums
In Italy there are many museums and collections of the educational heritage. Since 2011 the staff of "Paolo and Ornella Ricca" school museum has carried out a census of such museums of educational heritage with the aim to promote the knowledge and valorization of such heritage. The census, which has identified more than 100 Italian museums and school collections, is still under way and the location of such realities can be seen on the following interactive map. The project has been institutionally recognized on April 9, 2014 as a National Permanent Observatory on the Museum of Educational heritage within the "Paolo e Ornella Ricca school museum".
