This article presents the clipping of a long-term research about the educational processes in Baixada Fluminense. The focus is given to the work with the memory and appreciation of the Duque de Caxias’s Historical-Educational Heritage through the analysis of museum practices in the century-old Merity’s Regional School, currently called Doctor Álvaro Alberto Municipal Nursery School, developed throughout its history. The remaining collection of the school under the custody of CEPEMHEd and academic research on the history of the school were consulted. It starts from the understanding of the educational institution as a Memory Place (NORA, 1993); the expanded conception of heritage education (NAJJAR, 2010); and, from the notion of experience (THOMPSON, 2001). It is concluded that both the Regional Museum in its creation and in its current form represents the school projects undertaken in each historical juncture: at the beginning of the 20th century, linked to the regionalist project; and in the 21st century, referring to the right of memory.
