El aumento de la expectativa y calidad de vida de las personas ofrece nuevas oportunidades de aprendizaje. Estas oportunidades pueden ser desarrolladas en múltiples contextos, entre ellos los museos y otros espacios de educación no formal. En el artículo se presenta una experiencia realizada en el marco de dos talleres de estimulación cognitiva promovidos por la Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina. Se muestran perspectivas teóricas sobre neurociencias, personas mayores y museos. Se comenta una propuesta en particular y los sentidos construidos por un grupo de personas mayores acerca de sus concepciones, experiencias previas y posibles propuestas en museos, así como sus vivencias en el taller. Se destacan valoraciones positivas en torno al espacio museo y las posibilidades de generar iniciativas acordes a las necesidades de este colectivo. Finalmente, se comparten consideraciones finales en término de desafíos y nuevas iniciativas.
