Resumen

RICO MANSARD, Luisa Fernanda. Entre gabinetes y museos: Remembranza del espacio universitario. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2003, vol.25, n.101, pp.66-96. ISSN 0185-2698.

In this article, the author describes the trajectory of the first pieces and collections addressed to education, from its beginning in the 18th Century, through the consolidation and relocation phase in the 19th Century, and until its museologic institutionalization within the UNAM, in the 20th. The author highlights the reassessment of the artistic, natural and scientific heritage of the UNAM in its academic and museographic dimensions, at national level and compared with some foreign influences. This panoramic vision of collectionism and of the university museums is an invitation to raise again the question of the care they deserve, their spreading and their hold not only within the university facilities, but also in relation with specialized international organizations.
