The following essay is an initial approach to the present dilemma that many anthropologically themed museums are facing: new and different needs from publics, and the evolution of the very notion of the true mission of a museum. Based upon several authors, both classical and contemporary, a general map has been drawn, pointing out the many available options for the current institutions that have also been identified as working within the limits of the interpretative paradigm. Although several museums still have strong reminiscences of the older educational paradigm, they all share the continuous effort towards a better communication with their publics, be it by means of hybridation, integration within larger museological complexes, emotion-triggering stagings, identity reaffirmation or the inclusion of alternative stories, told by the many voices that conform today's societies.

Palabras llave : Interpretation; museum; discourses; visitors; critical routes; history.
