Visual literacy is becoming increasingly important in today's world. Visual materials are used in every aspect of our daily lives. By making sense of these materials, visual literates can better understand the world. Visual literates can also use visual materials to express their ideas and messages effectively. Visual literacy is the ability to understand and interpret visual materials. Visual materials can take a wide variety of forms, such as photographs, drawings, graphics, films and television programmes. Visual literates can evaluate the content, purpose, message and construction of visual materials. The aim of this study is to analyse museum participants' knowledge of the concept of visual literacy as well as their ability to understand newly introduced visual literacy concepts in relation to the science of art history. The main purpose of this study, which was carried out with document analysis and scanning method, is to answer the question of how art history is interpreted and explained in the context of visual literacy in museums. The study examines how museums can help their visitors make sense of and explain works of art. As a result of the study, it develops suggestions on how museums can use visual literacy skills to explain art history more effectively.
