By Robert Matesanz Gascón Founded in 1966 by Jesús María Hernando Cordobilla. It was then when its founder, which is now named, organized in one room of the Normal School of Education (now the College
García Quintana) an exhibition of pieces made by university students. Initially temporary, the collection expanded and improved, was the germ of the current Museum located in the Plaza of Spain
.
Don Jesús María Hernando remained until his death the soul of the institution, developing a work devoted, selfless and multifaceted, as well was responsible for acquiring pieces for the Museum that conduct tours, from by preparing displays and posters and meet management. But it would be unfair to forget that always told his side with a partner no less virtues him: his wife, Mrs. Mary Huelmo which, if not reached the same reputation among connoisseurs and visitors to the museum that D. Jesus Maria is mainly due to his innate modesty and discretion, leading away from all interest in recognition of their merits.
Today organically depends Museum of the Faculty of Education at the University of Valladolid. Its founder died in the spring of 1993, the direction of the Museum became Mrs. Mercedes Buendía, a professor in the Faculty of Education itself, who runs since then. However, this does not mean that Huelmo Mrs. Mary, widow of Don Jesus Maria Hernando and very active contributor to the same as already noted, I visit regularly, caring and working in terms of performance. Both have to do with the help of two assistants who provide services at the University of Valladolid and, more or less accidental, with the generous collaboration of some lovers of the natural sciences. During these nearly three decades of existence, the Museum has expanded significantly the number of their components, which have contributed significantly high number of donors (the first of which is affectionately remembered in an honor box located at entry). Thus, the funds available to the Museum today in the thousands, even though a good number of them are yet to be inventoried.
This high number of pieces distributed by a half rooms, made up mainly with scientific and educational criteria. Thus, upon entering the room I was visiting, which bears the name of Don Fernando Lopez de Mendigutía and is dedicated to lower vertebrates. In this room, fish, amphibians, reptiles and procordados are logically placed according to their orders, classes, genera and species, and further its study "visu" is completed by phylogenetic schemes, models of internal organs and systems, signs with geographic distribution and lifestyle, etc. Successive rooms, likewise, are dedicated to as many qualified scientists and consisting of major issues of Natural Sciences (geognosy, Biology, Birds, etc.), with plenty of diagrams, maps and models.
The spirit of the museum lies in its essentially educational function, but this should not prevent noted the high value and attractiveness as well as the rarity of some of its parts. For example, sailfish fish in the waters of Acapulco and donated to the Museum by D. Martin Nursery Nogueral. Or striking a human head reduced by the Jivaro of the Amazon basin is exposed in the archaeological section. Other funds have been studied in developing primary doctoral thesis, for the important collection of teeth Hipparion (a relative of today's horses that lived during the Miocene, over millions of years) which is in the Hall of Paleontology, or the two skulls of the lowland gorillas West Africa, studied by a young researcher at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid (according to which were the best he had seen after visiting all the museums peninsular). But in fact, behind each piece lies a whole universe of stories, meaning and history whose mere enumeration would be excessively tedious, it is impossible to summarize in few lines the story of how and why it was donated by one of the swan Mayors Valladolid, which was Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente by the Hawk Board V, how did the Museum's valuable collection of pearls of the Board III or even just make the list of species represented in the Museum that are so unfortunate as (almost) extinct, or minerals that are already hard to find collector after the boom of recent years.
With the constraints of the economy in times of austerity, the Museum is renewed gradually. In fact, recently been computerized and is currently studying the possibility of remodeling and expansion, and even the desirability of a possible transfer to other university facilities, more suitable to host an institution of this nature. But while a decision is made, the Museum of Natural Sciences Teaching continues its journey in the Plaza of Spain
. Today
visits are made by groups (on conclusion of visit by calling the museum itself) Tuesday through Friday morning. While interested in seeing it individually or with family or friends can do it every Saturday from 11 to 13 hours, with free admission. This schedule is altered only when doing solo exhibitions, events for which often extended Opening times considerably. Incidentally, some of the exhibitions, as the Mineral Collection of Iberdrola and Collection of Arthropods (mostly butterflies) of D. Rafael Citores, have received wide acceptance by the public, something other logical when you consider the sheer quality that both treasured collections.
finally say that despite the space constraints, budgetary and other pressures which constrain the activity of the Museum, it has a notable influx of visitors, as in recent years their number has been located about ten thousand per academic year. Respectable figure especially if we consider the lack of publicity available to the Museum.
Visiting Hours: Saturdays 11 to 13 hours.
Location: Plaza Spain 7 (Colegio García Quintana). 47001 Valladolid.
