This study aims to reveal the views and thoughts of social information teachers and students of 7th grade on the use of the museum in social information courses. The sample of the research designed according to the visual scan model was formed by 1397 high school 7th-class students and 85 social information teachers in Manisa Metropolitan Central City and Yunusemre districts. As a data collection tool, a classified information collection form was used to determine the opinions of teachers and students in the museum education. According to the research results, social information teachers and 7th grade students’ opinions on how to benefit from the museums in social information classes were positive. Museum education has been emphasized by both social information teachers and students that increases the student's consciousness of history and develops the student's consciousness of conservation of historical works. Social information has come to the conclusion that teachers and students do not experience much trouble during the process of the museums and are willing to process the lessons in the museums. However, the cost is among the problems faced in the application of museum education, the excess of student number, the planning and organizational difficulties, and the failure of the family to allow out-of-school events. According to both the teachers and students who participated in the study, there is no sufficient space for the educational activities after the museum trip.
