Abstract :
In this article we present a scenario describing a possible transformation of the places in charge to preserve our Cultural Heritage and to support our learning from the past: the museums. In a not-so-far future, we may assist to the opening of the museum-boxes, that blossomed and transformed in "museal fields", will spread into the territory in order to favor the integration of their content with the surrounding urban context. This latter will be populated by installations allowing people to interact in a natural manner with the museum\´s contents and to actively learn, also in a collaborative mode, through a possible redefinition of contents\´ meaning. As an example of installations that we may expect to populate the future scenarios, we present the realization of an educational "art-game": a puzzle with which children can play in a natural way, using their hands.
