This is a revised and expanded version of the article submitted in Spanish to the VI Scientific Conference of the Spanish Society for the Study of Historical-Educational Heritage on the topic Pedagogia museística: Prácticas, usos didácticos e investigación del patrimonio educativo, held in Madrid on 22-24 October 2014. It first describes the cultural and scientific context of the need to develop educational actions around the historical educational heritage that are increasingly targeted and diversified. The authors then focus on the analysis of educational experiences developed at the School Museum of Macerata during its first two years of public activity, to offer a contribution to the current debate on the new scenarios that characterize the restoration and enhancement of historical educational heritage

Il contributo delinea le ragioni ed i contesti in cui si è svolta la mostra "Tra casa e scuola. Tracce di educazione" realizzata nel 2010 nei locali dell'Università di Bologna all'interno della ricerca del Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Educazione "Idee e modelli di un Museo dell'Educazione". Nel ripercorrere l'articolazione della Mostra l'articolo individua alcune ragioni storiografiche e pedagogiche che l'hanno presieduta, prefigurando l'ipotesi di un museo dell'educazione e/o della scuola a Bologna, nel quadro di analoghe esperienze italiane ed europee e come strumento di una più ampia educazione alla cittadinanza.

Since 2009 the Educational Service of the National Archaeological Museum of Palestrina has been offering a series of projects involving local primary schools which have focused on the educational relationship between pupils and Museum. One of the main goals was that of fostering interest amongst pupils in the history and archaeology of the ancient city of Praeneste, developing a kind of " visual pleasure culture " in the most pleasant and accessible way. The project has proposed new, more direct ways of approaching the artifacts on display, encouraging pupils to establish a connection between life in ancient times and their own daily experience.
