This article addresses the history of the National Museum and collections in Ecuador between 1839 with the founding of the first National Museum, until 1876 with the closure of the Escuela Politécnica Nacional (National Polytechnic School). This research orbits around understanding the historical context, the frailty of museums and the management of artistic and scientific collections from National institutions and the influence of travelers and scientists who were part of the Universidad Central del Ecuador (1836) and the Escuela Politécnica (1869).
