Education Museum of Nevers

The Education Museum of Nevers occupies a former school building and displays teaching materials, textbooks, and classroom documents from the 1880s to the 1980s. The collection includes desks, writing tools, lesson plans, and personal items that show how learning and instruction happened in local schools.

The museum was founded to preserve objects and documents from local schools, housed in a building that once served as a school itself. The collection and the building together show how education and schooling developed in this area over more than a century.

The collection shows how schools shaped local life and how teaching methods evolved through daily classroom practice over time. Visitors see objects that belonged to students and teachers, revealing what education meant to families in this region.

The building is easy to reach on foot and can be explored in one or two hours at a comfortable pace. It helps to check opening hours in advance, as they are limited to certain days of the week.

The museum holds a rare collection of around a thousand 16mm films showing how schools used cinema and audiovisual technology for teaching in the twentieth century. These films offer an unexpected window into how technology changed what happened inside classrooms.
