Un museo de ciencia accesible a la sociedad. Contribución e impacto

Knowledge is the object of investigation and discussion; Citizens use it critically, transforming it into tools that allow them to improve their lives individually and collectively. The social and hierarchical differences that historically determined access to formative capital have blurred in the last century, and a wide variety of forms of culture are increasingly consumed, regardless of social, economic or cultural level. Among the cultural centers most visited by the citizens we find the museums. These knowledge centers work so that their communicative purpose is in tune with the content they offer and try to respond to the expectations and needs of visitors. The analysis of whether the answers they offer are adjusted to the demands of their visitors is the object of this work. It is a meeting that brings together disciplines such as information sciences, social sciences and museology, and which has made it possible to obtain an approach to the motivations and demands that some of the visitors to the Museu de les Ciències de Valencia have when they visit a museum.
