Abstract
Science centres and museums have undergone a great evolution in recent decades although it seems that, lately, the science museum model has been somewhat stagnant. Since the radical changes of the mid-twentieth century, it has developed towards strategies in which visitor numbers take precedence over other considerations. Alongside a school science that still does not seem to attract a sufficient number of students to science, a trend has emerged with a focus on “fun science” in science centres and museums. We question this view and propose the idea of “seductive science” as an alternative to achieve long-term impact of museum visits, with an emphasis on scientific museology principles and inquiry based learning.
