Abstract

This paper shows the experience gained in the collaborative project developed by the Research and Education Department at the “Patio Herreriano” Museum in Valladolid and the teachers group “The Red Point”. During this process, two research projects converged: one, the exhibition project of the museum “Sala Cero”, focusing on the concept of curatorial practices from education, and the other from the group of teachers, aimed to the reflection upon their own practices. This collaboration resulted in the design of the exhibition “The observed look” and an educational program aimed at both general public and the school community. The text provides a discussion on this project and learning processes tested.
