The article presents the results of theoretical substantiation and
practical approbation of modern possibilities for applying the visual teaching
method. The EU countries’ educational experience on modern ways of working
with museum expositions to form economic thinking is studied. The content of
the two-stage pedagogical experiment is characterized. At the first stage, the
possibilities of using educational excursions through museums and historically
significant territories of cities as a studying method are researched. The authors’
pedagogical product is presented - regional-themed tours on economics’ history.
Using Ukrainian museums’ online resources (virtual tours, virtual exhibitions)
has been developed and tested at the second stage. The thematic catalog of
Ukrainian museums’ online resources for broad research practices has been created. The presented innovative tool has shown its effectiveness in improving the
educational process quality, forming information and media literacy, and applying inclusive education. This pedagogical tool is essential in the context of the
