We live in a period of profound transformations and challenges in the most varied fields that blur political, economic, ethical, aesthetic and ethnic boundaries, and in which new technological and communication platforms transform our perception and existence. Museums have become anchors of memory and belonging, but they cannot be restricted to replication and stagnation. This article aims to discuss the possibilities of mutation of this institution. For this, it discusses a series of dimensions and potentialities, such as the role of collections in museums; its symbolic dimension; its versatility; its existence as a polymorph museum, world museum, forum museum; and in its role in the face of human and social emergencies and as a transformation agent.Keywords: Museums; Transformation; Collections; World Museum; Forum Museum; Polymorph Museum.
