This article presents an analysis of the process of adaptation to the COVID-19 health crisis of the two main science, technology and innovation museums in Jalisco: Museo Trompo Mágico and Planetario Lunaria, with the intention of strengthening the scientific culture and the appropriation of science. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology was used based on the analysis of the planning documents of both museums, as well as guided visits to both sites. Among the main findings, it was found that these museums in Jalisco, as has happened in the rest of the country and internationally, have tried to maintain communication with users through their digital platforms, while carrying out hybrid events, face-to-face and virtual, when the authorities have allowed it, in order to continue interacting with different communities, taking into account the safety of museums and the welfare of their staff and their audience. However, in order to strengthen scientific culture, the appropriation of science and the promotion of scientific vocations in children and young people, we must not lose sight of the link between these spaces and education, and support the processes of formal and non-formal education with the intention of contributing to the mission of museums to preserve, collect, research, interpret and communicate their tangible and intangible heritage, as well as the transmission of knowledge.
