This paper attempted to analyse pedagogical potentials of a museum whose importance can be recognized in educational work. The major aim of this thesis was to investigate beliefs and experiences of the primary and secondary school teachers regarding applying museum potentials to the educational purposes. This thesis aimed to show if there is any significant statistical variation in the answers provided by the participants with regards to their work place and time working as a teacher. Moreover, the goal of this paper was also to indicate the obstacles the teachers encountered while creating a lesson in the museum, as well as to indicate the benefits of learning in a museum. Likewise, it also investigated teachers' attitudes towards the given suggestions about the improvement and enhancement of future cooperation between museums and schools. In order to participate in this survey the participants had to have a minimum 5 years of experience working as a full-time teacher. This condition had to be fulfilled so as to get reliable results that were not affected by the current pandemic situation, but rather influenced by the work experience of the participants. Moreover, 122 teachers from 5 primary and 5 secondary schools from Metković and Zadar participated in this research. The results showed that the teachers recognize key museum pedagogical potentials but at the same time deal with a number of obstacles that result in the lack of the cooperation between schools and museums. Namely, only 52% of teachers attempted to teach in the museum. In addition, the results also indicated that the participants are really interested in improving their cooperation with the museums.
