Museums have become more interactive with new technology that improves accessibility for larger audiences, but this radical technological change also risks replacing meaningful content with media. While technology enhances museums, an over-reliance on it could cause museums to lose their role as preservers of culture if it replaces substantive exhibits and school field trips are no longer a preferred educational activity.

Museums have experienced a radical change across the years.
On the one hand, they have become more
interactive thanks to the addition of technological devices that enlarge and improve the possibilities of a museum, making it innovative and easily accessible by a lager audience. On the other, it is also true that innovations bring together a lack of substance: even though museums still represent reference points in society, as a matter of fact, they are always the preferred destinations by teachers in during school trips, they run the risk o of being ruined by this radical technological change. If the technology domain gets out of hand, contents will be replaced by media and the function of museums as culture-keepers will be lost.
