Understanding the world: schools and more

The Libra Museum was founded with a strong vocation for education, which is realised through proposals aimed at those who visit the museum with a school or independently or with their families.
The particularity of the educational proposals lies in the connection between historical heritage, narrations and experimental workshops.

Measurement is the basis of any scientific activity, so it is actually natural that the large number of measuring instruments preserved at the museum should become a valuable starting point for learning about the world around us and for gambling into the field of metrology, science and technology. 

The Museum offers guided tours, workshops for schools and other activities in favour of enhancing historical heritage and disseminating scientific knowledge.
Some of the services offered by the Scale Museum:
  • project support to schools and other organisations for TEACHER TRAINING on the science of measurement, organising courses on the introduction to historical, scientific and legal metrology with exercises suitable for primary and secondary schools, both independently and in collaboration with  IC3 Modena e Memo Modena;
