Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the idea of taking action to put learning at the heart of museums and museums at the heart of learning as it is a space where youngsters can learn and gain different experience with input from experts, using visual and object-based approaches, and where they can find new forms of creativity, self-expression and confidence. This means giving space for young people to be producers of knowledge as well as consumers and to learn about the connections and interactions between different knowledge systems.Both cognitive and affective learning can occur as a result of student visits to out-of-school settings, and is influenced by numerous factors, such as the structure of the trip, setting novelty, social context of the visit as well as teacher actions on trip and quality of preparation and follow-up experiences.The article also offers some teaching approaches to involving museums into the educational process.
