Este museo portátil nos invita a visitar una zona poco explorada de nuestro pasado, aquella relacionada a nuestra historia científica, donde es posible recapitular episodios fascinantes con personajes llenos de ingenio, curiosidad y asombro. Aquí encontraremos boticarios conocedores de la meteorología, artistas que inventaron sus propios instrumentos y lenguajes de creación, sacerdotes con el talento de pronosticar terremotos, pioneros de la aviación con motor o ingenieros que movieron edificios enteros con todo y sus ocupantes. A través de estas páginas compartimos la injusticia del olvido, con la convicción de Bertrand Russell: "El conocimiento de hechos curiosos no solo hace menos desagradables las cosas desagradables, sino que hace más agradables las cosas agradables".

El panorama que encontró el sacerdote argentino Pedro Opeka al llegar a Madagascar, hace alrededor de treinta años, no podía ser más desalentador. En las afueras de Antananarivo, la capital, se extendía un enorme basurero donde cientos de niños se peleaban con los cerdos por un pedazo de comida. El sacerdote argentino se dijo: “Aquí no tengo derecho a hablar, aquí hay que actuar”. En Magis hemos querido difundir la historia del padre Opeka porque estamos al tanto de la necesidad de contar con ejemplos alentadores. En contraste, revisamos los motivos que pudieron tener los electores estadounidenses para elegir al nuevo inquilino de la Casa Blanca. El magnate supo encauzar en su discurso vociferante el resentimiento y el miedo de un vasto sector de la sociedad lastrado por la ignorancia y por la precariedad, y así fue abriéndose camino a lo largo de una campaña que, al tiempo que iba volviéndolo más aterrador, también aseguraba su triunfo. Esto ha sido, quizás, lo más grave: que la gente que votó por él lo hiciera sabiendo perfectamente quién era y de qué es capaz. (Magis) (ITESO)
