With the work done in the process, it was tried to raise awareness about museums and to explain how valuable museums are for a new perspective on education and most importantly for the social studies course. In the study, a 2x2 split-plot mixed design was used. In the quantitative part of the study, dependent and independent variable measurements were made on the experimental and control groups. In the qualitative part, semi-structured interview technique was applied. The participants of the research are 50 7th grade students in a public school in the center of Gaziantep in the 2020-2021 academic year. The quantitative data of the study were analyzed with the SPSS 22.00 program, and the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and skewness calculation were performed to find answers to the research questions of the study. Afterwards, the post-test was applied to both groups. As a result of the research, it was determined that museum education, which is one of the out-of-school learning environments for the social studies course, improved the course success level of the students in the experimental group. In addition, the data obtained from the semi-structured interview form reveal important results in terms of revealing the students' thoughts on museum education and its impact and make our research more valuable.
