Abstract: Museums and interpretation centers play a fundamental role in historical education by providing spaces where people can learn about the past in an interactive, immersive and meaningful way. The preservation and exhibition of artifacts enrich historical education by providing visitors with authentic, emotional, contextual, sensory and educational experiences. In history education, contextualization is essential to provide students with an enriched and meaningful understanding of the past. By considering context, students can develop a more critical, empathetic and connected perspective on history, enabling them to appreciate and value the complexity and diversity of the human experience over time. Storytelling is a powerful strategy for engaging students and fostering their understanding and appreciation of history, stimulating their imagination and curiosity. Integrating meaningful and captivating narratives into history teaching can spark greater interest in and attachment to the past. They are used as tangible testimonies of the past, allowing a direct connection with history. Their understanding and appreciation of the cultures and civilizations that preceded us. This allows people to better appreciate how the past influences the present. Interactive experiences can motivate students, make history more accessible and relevant, and provide opportunities for them to explore, reflect and learn in an active way. Educators can enrich student learning and foster a deeper and more meaningful appreciation of history.
