Introduction: Access to knowledge generates inequalities. The gap between those who are scientifically literate and those who are not can become a source of exclusion. In Spain, the relationship between science museums and vulnerable communities, in this case the immigrant population, has been little studied, and we are therefore seeking to build on research developed in other countries. Methodology: The study used surveys to gain an understanding of interviewees' socio-demographic profile, how immigrants relate to museums and the relationship between the museum and identity in two museums in Barcelona. Results: Visitors consulted stated that they felt comfortable in the museum and found the display formats in the museum to be similar to those in their own countries. It must be borne in mind that this is a preliminary study. © 2016, University of La Laguna. All rights reserved.
