History education should come with a variety of learning approaches so that the students are not bored and sleepy in the History classrooms. Although education through the Internet has a great potential in providing an effective learning technique, education from the museum is able to give a greater impact as it involves senses like seeing, listening and touching. The purpose of this study is to focuses on the learning of History subject from text books for Standard Four until Form Five through the exhibition in museums under PERZIM. The methodology of this study is qualitative based on the library study and field study. The study findings reveal that the selected museum’s exhibit story lines and artefact associated with the text books from Standard 4 to Form 5. In the theory of Edgar Dale (1946) about the ‘cone of experience’, the multifaceted techniques in learning will strengthen students’ understanding, using school text books to the learning through objects, be it original artefact or replica in interactive method. The study encourages teachers to organize museum visits tied to their curriculum, as these trips offer students a hands-on connection to historical events and artifacts, improving comprehension and retention. This approach is especially valuable since History is a mandatory pass subject in Malaysia’s SPM examinations and it can also increase their integrity and awareness about the history of Malaysia.
