Abstract
Museums of all kinds must fulfill their educational and social role in an era of new social upheavals. But can archaeological collections meet the needs of children in science and technology, avoiding behaviorism patterns of the past? STEM and robotics workshops are a relatively new tendency and on the other hand museums open their laboratories and storages to the public. The more we understand the functions of museum scientists, the stronger we are engaging with the collections and their metadata and the more profound the knowledge can be. Epistemological analysis emerges archaeometry - specific academic field - as the strongest of some interdisciplinary bridges related with archaeology. Five distinguished Greek scientists identify the intersections between archaeology and the natural sciences. The article refers to the theoretical background so that an interdisciplinary bridge can be didactically transformed in the context of the exhibition design.
