The sample of the research, in which case study is preferred, consists of 17 artefacts in the "Optics", "Physics and Techniques" sections of the museum. The data of the research were collected from the templates prepared by the researchers and expert opinion, the photographs and videos taken by the researcher during the museum tour, and the printed/online brochures and books she collected and analysed by content analysis. From the analysis of the data, it was determined that 17 artefacts in the museum were compatible with the Physics curriculum and textbooks.
