About
The Musée Aubois d'Histoire de l'Éducation (M.A.H.É.) was founded in 1976 ...
... initiated by the Centre Départemental de Documentation Pédagogique (C.D.D.P.) de l'Aube, the Bibliothèque Départementale de Prêt (B.D.P.), the Commission des Affaires Culturelles of the Conseil Général de l'Aube, the Inspection d'Académie de l'Aube and the Institut National de la Recherche et de la Documentation Pédagogique (I.N.R.D.P.), now the Institut National de la Recherche Pédagogique (I.N.R.P.).
The Conseil Général provides funding for the Museum. The C.D.D.P. is responsible for managing and running it. The Museum is in symbiosis with the C.D.D.P. and is located on the same premises, rue Saint-Martin-es-Aires, in the former Michelet school (a building which the city of Troyes relinquished to the department).
At the same time, in 1976, the Association des Amis Aubois de l'Histoire de l'Éducation (A.A.M.A.H.É.) was set up to safeguard the museum's educational heritage and develop its activities by supporting research and exhibiting its collections. The A.A.M.A.H.É. is responsible for collecting donations, which have resulted in a large number of diverse documents.
In 1991, the C.D.D.P. moved from the Saint-Martin-es-Aires site to its current premises, renovated by the Conseil Général, on avenue des Lombards. It cohabits with the Institut Universitaire de Formations des Maîtres (I.U.F.M.) of the Académie de Reims.
Thanks to the tours offered, the M.A.H.É enables adults to delve into their childhood memories, and students to experience the past of their parents and grandparents, and grasp the differences between the school of today and that of yesteryear.
As part of its educational vocation, classes can visit and work at the Museum.
