Sumario:Museums are presented as social spaces. Places to and interact with others, and to link different generations. Children and adults exchange their ideas about objects, the history, and about stories that are passed on. Museums resort to different strategies to convene families. One of the strategies has been games and toys. We present theoretical perspectives on museums and intergenerational linkage, childhood and old age as social constructions and games and toys as opportunities for creativity in museums. We describe a study on the evaluation of the participants of a proposal developed in a museum in the city of Río Cuarto called Spaces to meet: games and toys in the museum. As a result, we can highlight the positive responses of the participants, considering that the proposal allows for sharing an enriching experience in social terms.
