La experiencia museística del patrimonio del IES Isabel la Católica de Madrid

Abstract

The project for the musealization the heritage of the IES Isabel la Católica dates back to 2006 when we began to recover the heritage of the Institute-School, whose Retiro Section occupied, between 1928 and 1936, the oldest building of its current facilities. This ambitious project began with the organization and cataloging of the archive, the library and the historical Biology and Geology laboratories of the Institute-School, in which we centralized and valued the material that is preserved from the pedagogical experiment that was carried out. Since then, the library and historical laboratories became museum spaces, where we carried out dissemination activities and didactic use of the Institute-School's heritage. After the mandatory parenthesis of the pandemic, in 2021 we continue with this recovery work, to which we added a new project: the cataloging and museumization of the heritage of the Isabel la Católica Institute.
