The museum of education (Museon) consists of a central exhibition space, an intervening area clarifying the relationship between the various departments, and several spaces separable using large revolving doors and devoted to specific subjects. The plan consists of two interlocking squares based on the module of 1.1 metres used by the Municipal Museum whose entrance it shares. The freestanding space-theatre or Omniversum is an enclosed brick cylinder containing a hemispherical screen.
