Abstract
Introduction. From the first materials collected by human ancestors to the first mineralogical teaching collections, minerals emerge as one of the most important objects of nature handled by man. Objective and Methodology. The history of these collections allows us to recover the motivations for collecting them over time, from tools necessary for survival to scientific objects. Faced with the need to know them scientifically, the mineralogical collections stand out as didactic subsidies and become the embryos of the first Schools of Mining Engineering on the planet and the first higher education course in Brazil. Results and Conclusion. It is also discovered that the act of “telling” the history of historical collections makes them transcend their basic objective, bringing them closer to the observer (researcher or visitor), because we place him before the involvement of collectors during their preparation, thus promoting its re-signification beyond a set of scientific and/or aesthetic objects to elements of a narrative of the human adventure in the search for knowledge.
