Abstract
Although researchers have proposed many engaging digital solutions to enhance museum
learning practice, most museums prefer to stick to low-tech settings. Our study suggests
that technologies are not broadly adopted because a clear vision, about their role within
the troubled process of museum innovation, is missing.
Therefore, starting from the design of a new learning platform for museums, we propose
a new scenario, so to show concretely how digital technologies, and their specific
affordances, could contribute to museum innovation. This scenario is envisioned with
respect to two main levels of discussion: a micro level dealing with everyday practice
inside the museum, and a macro level regarding museums external relations, within the
local community and society in general.
