The upper level of the former church of San Sebastián in Alcorisa houses the fascinating Rural School Museum which takes visitors back in time to their childhood school days. (Download the BROCHURE).
One of the rooms is faithfully set up as the inside of a post-war school with a number of surprises to be revealed. Finally, the museum offers the chance to obtain an unforgettable souvenir by repeating the photo taken during the first days at a Spanish school: blue or pink smock – in all sizes, a globe, mission money box, and a map of Spain as the backdrop… an interesting proposition.
In addition, you can touch the restored furniture and school material, write with a fountain pen or on a slate, re-read the original books that filled the typical school bag, newspapers and magazines from decades ago, or relive the needlework classes with a stretcher frame. You will also have the opportunity to look at school photographs from many villages in Aragon, listen to often-repeated childhood music, and we also ask visitors to leave us with their school memories by writing in the visitors' book.
The projection of an excellent audiovisual and the visit to the Rural School Museum will fill your mind with unforgettable sensations, the smell of a wood-burning stove, lessons by teachers that left their mark and sharing a desk with your classmates.
Come and visit this museum, the only one of its kind in the province. You will remember what it feels like to be a child again and remember the past to understand the present. Come and enjoy the experience with your students and family, to share the impressions of childhood, because education is the only thing that makes humans equal.
