Museum objects are open to interpretation, and learners interpret them in their ways. The Cognitive Orientation of Museum tool was developed to support unfamiliar museum learners to make meanings from museum objects. This research analyzed how the COM users developed their original interpretations through pass analysis and interview data. As a result, it was revealed that they tried to appreciate objects using the knowledge of the COM tool, noticed new information from objects, and they interpreted those findings in their ways.
