Summary/Abstract: In the past years, museums are in a process of continuous transformation. At the same time, museums have become interactive spaces, which offer visitors educational and fun activities. Therefore, in the dissemination and transmission of knowledge, the museum has a vital role in the process of lifelong learning. Social and economic changes have led to new attitudes of the public towards the expectations related to museum services and offers. The museum must become a meeting point between museum professionals and the visiting public, researchers and artists, being a link between the rigorous world of science and the beauty behind scientific research, through the public’s foray into science. Therefore, the launch in the ICOM space of the challenge to change / complete the definition of the museum proves to be a more than welcome initiative.
