Institutions such as the Froebel Kindergarten and the Superior Primary School were part of this complex, which belonged to a municipal education network. According to its director, Adolfo Coelho, the Museum would be an instrument in the reform of popular education.<br>This paper seeks to link the Museum’s ephemeral fate to the rationale of three documents on the action of the State, concerning museums designed for popular classes. These documents highlight a main priority: a museum for national artistic treasures and for public contemplation, rather than pedagogical and teaching museums for manual use of their collections.</p> ER -
