Science is a fundamental part of our cultural heritage, which has to be studied and preserved. The main focus of this project is the cataloguing and study of the scientific instruments that are preserved in many institutions of Catalonia, Balearic Islands and Valencia, mostly in secondary schools, universities and other scientific institutions. The Commission of Scientific Instruments was created inside the Catalan Society for the History of Science and Technology and aims to coordinate the different work on cataloguing and preservation of instruments.

Museu i exposicions

El museu es troba actualment tancat per renovació i trasllat a una nova seu. La propera reobertura del museu permetrà de mostrar en una exposició permanent la riquesa del patrimoni mèdic preservat, a partir de l'aplicació dels conceptes de la museologia científica. Un altre objectiu raurà en les exposicions temporals, dedicades a la comprensió de la ciència, la tecnologia i la medicina, i a les seves interaccions amb la societat en el context històric, així com a l'aproximació de la recerca mèdica contemporània a la població.

During the 1960s the Ministry of Education in Ghana created a network of school laboratories to increase scientific literacy among young citizens. The ministry stocked these “Science Centres” with imported beakers, Bunsen burners, and books. Education officials and university scientists worked with teachers to create lesson plans on water, air, plants, and other topics. The government hoped that scientifically minded schoolchildren would be better prepared to staff the industries of the future.
