Per una storia dell'Università italiana: il contributo del Museo per la Storia dell'Università di Pavia e del Museo Europeo degli Studenti di Bologna

ABSTRACT: The present article aims to analyze a specific type of university institution, i.e. museums for the history of the University. In Italy, despite the centuries-old university tradition, there are only two, the Museum for the History of the University of Pavia and the European Museum of Students (MEUS) in Bologna. So far little studied, they are undoubtedly a successful experiment of musealisation of the archival-library, photographic and iconographic heritage that documents, celebrate and valorize the history of the University.
