At the beginnng of the Twentieth Century, natural and physical sciences where teatched throught the "leçons de choses" who give a large part to real experimentation. Natural history cabinets and in particular mineralogical collections where presents in scholar establisments. In this paper, I will discuss the philosophy of the "leçons de choses" and relate the experience of the building of a mineralogical collection for undergraduate teatching. The connection between the choice of minerals and the official educationnal programs is presented, as well as the practical aspects of building such a collection. This experience show how to valorize the modest mineralogical samples.

Mots clés: mineralogical collections; history of mineralogy; schools and teatching; popular mineralogy
