This
Museum was named after its creator and organizer the second headmaster
of the "Otto Krause" School, who provided the institution with
the resources required for the formation of technicians qualified
to contribute to the development of the country's industry.
Glass cases containing models, panels and graphs exhibit a wide
assortment of pieces and reflect different aspects related to
the design and operation of motors and machinery. Also on show
is a small scale steam engine presented at the International Agricultural
Exhibition held in Buenos Aires in commemoration of the country
100th anniversary (1910). The Da Vinci collection is of particular
interest, since it includes models of machinery and inventions
devised by this incredible Italian artist and inventor, made in
Milan in 1939 by 120 scientists who presented the most comprehensive
series of his masterpieces. Also on show at the Museum are a phonograph
and cylinders furnished by Thomas Edison; an exhibition of Sheffield
knives donated by the Prince of Wales in 1926, and French scale
models for the teaching of natural sciences.
