Abstract: This research aims to analyse research trends on the theme of teaching about cultural heritage in museums from the aspects of publications, citations, profiled authors, influential journals, authors' keywords co-occurrence and co-authors visualisation networks. This is a scientometric study in the field of teaching about cultural heritage museums. This study provides a systematic and quantitative, data-based approach. A total of 301 publications from journal articles and conference proceedings were taken from the Scopus database and analysed in terms of the number of publications per year, citation overview, research productivity, keyword accuracy and co-authorship. R-package, VOSviewer and Excel software were used to analyse and visualise research trends. This research contributes to the availability of important information about research publication trends in museums and history teaching. The productivity of publication has increased in the last decade. The most productive country is Spain, followed by Turkey. The most relevant word is e-learning. The themes with the most potential to be developed in future research are digital libraries, information technology, semantics, archaeology and educational development. Collaboration between authors is still quite low, so these themes provide great opportunities for researchers in the field of history teaching to collaborate.
